MADISON, Wisconsin (madison.com/Wisconsin State Journal) A 75-year-old Madison woman died from COVID-19 Sunday after contracting the illness more than a month after being fully vaccinated, according to her sons, who say immunosuppressant drugs likely reduced her vaccine protection and chronic diseases made her more vulnerable to infection.
Reports of so-called “breakthrough” cases and deaths after full vaccination are rare, but some are expected because no vaccine is 100% effective and some people don’t mount as much of an immune response to the vaccine as others, experts say.

MADISON, Wis. - A Madison woman who was fully vaccinated has died of coronavirus complications, according to her sons who say her underlying health conditions likely made her more vulnerable to infection.
Seventy-five-year-old Olivia Kingree had diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure and mild dementia, her sons said. She also had a kidney condition for which she took steroids, which can suppress the immune system, and an immunosuppression drug. She died Sunday while in hospice at a Madison nursing home, the Wisconsin State Journal reported. My thought is that the combination of . medications impaired her immune response to the vaccine, so she probably did not produce as many antibodies, said Dr. Seth Kingree, a son who works at a hospital in West Virginia where he has treated numerous COVID-19 patients.
