A Kenyan nurse who has made his name in the US for telling stories to his patients and bringing hope to many who survive the Covid-19 has contracted the virus despite receiving a vaccine. George Otieno, 47, who works at the Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital in Michigan, says he contracted the virus during his volunteer missions in other states, 16 days after he received his first Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. “I got Coronavirus 16 days after my first Covid-19 vaccination while helping fight Coronavirus in the Southern Border of California as a Travel Nurse. Am still going to get my second shot in two days,” said Otieno. Otieno will now have to spend the next 10 days in self-isolation before taking a second Covid-19 test to confirm he has fully recovered.
