U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch has tested positive for COVID-19, even after receiving a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, his office said Friday.

Lynch received his positive result on Friday after a staff member in his Boston office had tested positive earlier in the week, a spokesperson said.

... It wasn't immediately clear when Lynch received his second vaccine dose, aside from prior to the Jan. 20 inaguration, but experts say you can test positive for COVID-19 after getting vaccinated.

Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines require two doses per patient to be fully effective. The first Pfizer-BioNTech dose is more than 50% effective in preventing COVID-19, and the second dose increases that protection to about 95%.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it can take weeks for a person’s body to build up immunity after getting vaccinated.

“That means it’s possible a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and get sick,” the agency said. “This is because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.
