"All five have also tested preliminarily positive for the
more infectious B117 strain of the coronavirus, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Tuesday (Feb 9).
She also received her first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Feb 2. "As the vaccine does not contain live virus, she could not have been infected due to vaccination," said the MOH. "It is possible for one to be infected just before or just after vaccination, as it typically takes a few weeks for an individual to build up immunity after completing vaccination."
Ok, so first she got the Pfizer vaccine on feb 2, then she got on a flight to dubai, between then and Feb 9, where it was announced she had it.
It is perfectly normal to be susceptible to Covid for a significant time after the injection. Nothing to get worried about.
the guardian:
"One dose of
the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine gives people about 90% protection from Covid by 21 days, according to an analysis of Israel’s mass vaccination programme."
So it takes a while to kick in..So don't stop taking the usual precautions after you've had your first shot.
