Former Chief Rabbi Lau Tests Positive for Coronavirus After 2nd Vaccine Dose

Former Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau tested positive for Coronavirus over the weekend. The positive test results came after he had already take the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. The rabbi is at home, feels well, and has no symptoms.

Rabbi Lau was apparently infected by his wife, who tested positive for Coronavirus earlier in the week, and the rabbi is likely to have contracted the Coronavirus before receiving the second injection.

The vaccine only reaches its full potential a week after taking the second dose.

סבא, הרב ישראל מאיר לאו שליט"א, אובחן כחיובי לקורונה בסוף השבוע, לאחר החיסון השני, וב"ה מרגיש מצויין בביתו ללא תסמינים.
נדבק מסבתא, הרבנית, שנחשפה למאומתת בתחילת השבוע.
בריאות שלמה לכולם בעז"ה. ?
