Vaccination does not prevent contracting Covid-19 or transmitting it. What to do when you contract the disease, although vaccinated?
Vaccination does not prevent either contracting Covid or transmitting it
Indeed, to the question “should I isolate myself if I am a ‘contact case’ and vaccinated?”, the answer is the same for everyone since March 21, 2022, whether you are vaccinated with a fully vaccinated or not.
- No isolation but “regular testing”respect for barrier gestures, wearing a mask, limiting contact, avoiding people at risk of serious form and teleworking “as far as possible”;
- A PCR or antigen test or self-test must be carried out 2 days after learning that you have been in contact with a person who tested positive;
- If you test positive, you must self-isolate.
If the test is positivestay in isolation for at least 7 days from the date of the test when you are vaccinated, 10 days if your vaccination schedule is incomplete.
“If possible isolate yourself alone, take the opportunity to find yourself. In any case, the Covid-19 patient is not a plague victim”comments Dr. Gérald Kierzek.
“But let’s not fall into psychosis. With the hindsight over 2 years of the pandemic and the appearance of the BA4 and BA5 variants, the risks are lower and the precautions must be limited to simple gestures”adds Dr Gérald Kierzek.
