Eugene Choi, a Los Angeles-based radiologist, said in an interview published Saturday that he came down with COVID-19 despite receiving the vaccine about six months ago.

The report pointed out that his wife—who was also vaccinated—was also diagnosed with the disease.

He said that he was surprised when he was diagnosed, but when he learned that his wife was also diagnosed, he realized it was not a fluke.

The one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine is about 72% effective against moderate to severe disease, according to U.S.

The Fox 11 report said at least 933 people in Los Angeles County, who have been vaccinated, have reported breakthrough cases. 

"I think about had I not gotten the vaccine, how much worse my symptoms would have been," he said
