Covid positive after vaccination

Hello, i took my second dose of vaccination already and the next day i found out i was positive covid with high CT value. I didnt have any symptoms for the past weeks and no close contact with covid case so i didnt know i would be positive thus i took the vaccination. the PCR test i took was because it was the protocol before going to work. so far no symptoms except from sore arm from the vaccination. im worried, will this effect the effectiveness of my vaccine? will my vaccine work normally or the efficacy reduce? thank you in advance for your time and reply.

Hello, thank you for your enquiry.

For your information, if the CT value is more than 40, it means the viral load are less. The active covid or acute covid patients will have CT value less than 40. You may need to reconfirm your status with your doctor or any health care professions.

Furthermore, even if you have received your vaccination before or after you have covid, the effectiveness of the vaccines remains unchanged. The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system in body, to activate the memory cells to produce antibodies against the virus for longer period. Soreness on the arm are normal side effects for having intramuscular injections, it will recover on its own after a few days.

The covid vaccine is able to provide a great range of protection, but it is not 100 percent covid resistance. Please do follow the SOP, wear mask, wash hands diligently, and maintain social distance.

For more information, you may refer this problem to your doctor or contact the relevant department CPRC via 0388810200/+60178429454.
