yle Marian Viterbo had made it a point to get regularly tested for the coronavirus, even after getting vaccinated. That’s how, a little more than a month after her first Moderna jab, she discovered she had COVID-19. She traced it back to an uncomfortably crowded outdoor comedy show she’d attended the week before testing positive.
Vitrerbo, a science communicator, understood this was possible given that the Moderna vaccine is 94 percent effective around two weeks after the second shot and is around 80 percent after the first shot, though experts have cautioned that it’s not clear how long protection from the first shot lasts. Still, she said, it was “hard to think what all those percentages mean for everyday life, especially for the consequences beyond my own body. It felt like a gut-punch.” Fearing for the elderly relatives she lived with, she checked into a New York City Covid isolation hotel, where she rode out her asymptomatic infection and shared her experience on TikTok.
