Sonoma County health officials said Tuesday that at least 39 people in the region tested positive for the coronavirus despite being vaccinated, according to a statement from the county.
“We’ve been monitoring the contacts of these people that have tested positive (after vaccinations) and there doesn’t seem to be any transmission from these folks, these breakthrough cases, to subsequent contacts,” Jenny Mercado, a county epidemiologist, told the Press Democrat.
None of the three vaccines authorized for emergency use in the United States — Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson — offer complete protection from the coronavirus, and public health officials say some people who have completed a vaccine series will still contract the virus.
He also said it shows we need to drive down COVID-19 cases in our communities, bringing the virus under better control, so both those who are vaccinated and unvaccinated have a low chance of contracting the virus
