Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is an important step in protecting yourself and others from the virus. However, it is still possible to contract the virus even after receiving the vaccine. If you test positive for COVID-19, either through a rapid antigen test or PCR, you must isolate yourself regardless of your vaccination status. Self-isolation is essential to prevent the spread of germs.
This means staying at home and avoiding contact with people who are at high risk of serious illness for 10 days. Although the vaccine is highly effective in preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19, it is not 100% effective. Vaccinated individuals may still experience mild symptoms of the virus, such as a fever or cough. It is important to monitor your symptoms and contact your healthcare provider if they worsen. It is also important to continue following safety guidelines even after you have been vaccinated.
This includes wearing a face mask, washing your hands often, and avoiding large gatherings. By taking these precautions, you can help protect yourself and others from the virus.
