美国至少已有3名国会议员在接种过美国疫苗后感染新冠:
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) reported on January 11 that she tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and began experiencing symptoms, though she’d already received one dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on December 29. Watson Coleman, who’s 75 and a cancer survivor, said she may have been exposed at the US Capitol during the riots as she sheltered with other representatives who refused to wear face masks.
Another Congress member who was in the same lockdown area on Wednesday with maskless colleagues, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), announced Monday night she’d also tested positive. The Cut reports she received the vaccine on January 4.
On Tuesday, a third Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois, who was also vaccinated on January 4, said he tested positive for the virus but was not experiencing any symptoms.

1 月 15 日电 当地时间 14 日,美国纽约州民主党众议员阿德里亚诺 · 埃斯帕拉特 ( Adriano Espaillat ) 在社交媒体上宣布,他的新冠病毒检测结果呈阳性,目前正在家隔离。就在 1 天前,埃斯帕拉特刚刚参加了有关美国总统弹劾条款的相关辩论。
综合 CNN、《纽约时报》等媒体消息,66 岁的埃斯帕拉特发推表示:" 我正听从医生的指导,在新冠病毒检测结果呈阳性后在家中隔离。" 他还称在上周已经接种了第二剂辉瑞新冠疫苗,并称理解疫苗要经过一段时间才能完全发挥效力。
当地时间 13 日,埃斯帕拉特曾佩戴口罩在众议院参加了有关特朗普弹劾条款的相关辩论。其办公室还没有立即回应置评请求。
目前,在美国获得紧急使用授权的两款新冠疫苗是辉瑞疫苗和莫德纳疫苗。不过美媒指出,这两种疫苗尚未证明可以预防感染新冠,而是已被证明可以预防出现感染症状和严重疾病。
