The expert contracted the disease a month after receiving the second dose despite having scrupulously complied with all protective measures against COVID-19. “The only moment in which it has been able to happen, is in a meal that I did with some people in the open air and one of them was infected with quite a lot of symptoms. It was a person who was not vaccinated“.

“The vaccine does not make us waterproof”

However, it warns that they are symptoms “that can be mistaken for an allergy so you have to be very careful. This worries us because in my case, if I had not tested positive for another person, I would not have noticed it and for a few days I would have been able to infect other people “.

After going through this experience, he is now “free of clinical symptoms, but warns the population: “The vaccine does not make us absolutely waterproof and we can continue to have contact with the virus. ”

Masks

The Government, for the moment, is committed to maintaining the removal of masks outdoor. On this issue, Corell states that “it has been fatally communicated the topic. Taking off our masks has been seen as the end of the pandemic and this is a serious mistake. An effort must be made to educate citizens “.
