Vaccine acts like ‘fortress’, say newsmen who tested positive after vaccination

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Covid-19 vaccine acts like a “fortress”, protecting one’s body even if the vaccinated individual is later exposed to, or “attacked” by the deadly virus, said  two journalists who were in a similar situation.

The duo did not experience any symptoms when they were infected by the virus after they had been vaccinated.

Nur Fazlizai Ali, 34, a media practitioner, was infected by the virus about three weeks after having taken both doses of the Sinovac shots.

“I received the first dose of the vaccine on April 1 and the second on April 22. It was a bit of a shock at first when I was confirmed positive on May 12. I was informed that my  infection was through contacts that I had met while on duty.

“I asked the doctor several times just to reconfirm the results. The answer remained the same and I had to be placed at the Covid-19 Quarantine and Low-Risk Treatment Centre (PKRC),” she said when contacted by Bernama here recently.
