But as more people get vaccinated, the test’s sensitivity is raising questions among health experts about whether results should be looked at more critically when an immunized person with no symptoms tests positive for COVID-19?

Vaccinated people who aren’t feeling sick might still trigger a positive COVID-19 test while their body fights off the virus, but aren’t at risk of infecting others, said Dr.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn’t recommend COVID-19 testing for vaccinated people without symptoms, there are still situations, like some athletic competitions, where players are screened for the virus.

It wasn’t the first time a fully vaccinated athlete tested positive for COVID-19 without any symptoms of the disease and was forced to quarantine.

Around the same time last month, nine fully vaccinated members of the New York Yankees baseball team tested positive for the virus, including star shortstop Gleyber Torres.

The CDC considers any positive test for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease, in a person at least two weeks past their final vaccine dose a “breakthrough” infection?

A recent CDC study called those “very rare” — just 0.01% of fully vaccinated Americans this year tested positive, 27% of whom showed no symptoms.

It isn’t clear what Kevin Miller’s viral load was on his positive test.

But for the vaccinated, a low viral load that triggers a positive test in a person feeling no symptoms may simply indicate the vaccine is doing its job.

Our system is meant to track people who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 post vaccination and track the trends in these cases, not evaluate infectiousness.”
