Greg Abbott announced he tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday despite being fully vaccinated. Abbott received his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine in December of last year, which he credited for his mild case so far. "I have received the COVID-19 vaccine, and that may be one reason why I’m really not feeling any symptoms right now. "Governor Abbott is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, in good health, and currently experiencing no symptoms," the governor's communications director, Mark Miner, said. Breakthrough infections – when a fully vaccinated person tests positive for COVID-19 – are possible but extremely rare.
