KUALA LUMPUR: Forty healthcare workers in Malaysia have tested positive for COVID-19 despite completing both doses of the vaccination, said health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah on Saturday (Apr 17). According to Dr Noor Hisham, nine of them were infected more than two weeks after having their second dose, while the other 31 workers were infected less than two weeks after getting the second jab. Another 142 healthcare workers were infected after the first dose, while 244 workers who contracted the disease were not inoculated. "It is clear that we still can be infected after completion of vaccination," said Dr Noor Hisham in a Facebook post on Saturday. "No one is safe until everyone is safe." However, he also said that vaccinated healthcare workers had less severe COVID-19 symptoms. "Although vaccine gives a glimmer of hope to fight against COVID-19, make no mistake that we can relax all the public health measures after vaccination,” said Dr Noor Hisham. ... » Learn More about 40 healthcare workers in Malaysia who had both doses of vaccine test positive for COVID-19
