While more and more Long Islanders are queuing up to get the COVID-19 vaccine, there are growing reports of fully vaccinated people still contracting coronavirus.
"They say everything is going to be all right after you get the vaccine, but you never know," said Mary Sloan, who got her second dose of the vaccine on Sunday. As a coronavirus survivor, she doesn't want to go through that experience again, but there are reports from the Hawaii State Department of Health that three fully vaccinated residents contracted COVID-19. Chief of Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases at Northwell Health Dr. Bruce Farber said he's not surprised.
