Four people in Oregon have tested positive for the coronavirus after receiving both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, health officials said.
There are two cases each in Yamhill and Lane counties, the state's Health Authority said in a series of tweets on Friday. The cases are either mild or asymptomatic.
"We are working with our local and federal public health partners to investigate and determine case origin," the agency said. "Genome sequencing is underway, and we expect results next week."
The agency referred to the individuals who tested positive as "breakthrough cases," meaning that they got sick with the virus at least 14 days after receiving both doses.
The Health Authority said more breakthrough cases could pop up.
"Clinical trials of both vaccines presently in use included breakthrough cases. In those cases, even though the participants got Covid, the vaccines reduced the severity of illness," the agency said in a tweet.
"Based on what we know about vaccines for other diseases and early data from clinical trials, experts believe that getting a Covid-19 vaccine may also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get the virus. ... Getting as many Oregonians as possible vaccinated remains a critical objective to ending the pandemic."
The agency's announcement came the same day its health officer said there has been a decline of daily Covid-19 cases over the past several weeks. As of Friday, there were 149,576 cases in the state, according to the department's count.
"These decreases are a testament to the actions all Oregonians are taking to slow the spread of Covid-19 and the sacrifices made – thank you," health officer Dean Sidelinger said at a news conference Friday.
Another breakthrough case was reported in North Carolina, according to NBC affiliate WCNC-TV in Charlotte.

And they likely wore their masks more than most.
“reduced severity of illness”
How do they know?
Is this a shock for a vaccination that was advertised as 90% effective?
Getting the VAX will not allow anyn to return to a pre Covid Lifestyle.
You can still get Covid
You still have to wear a mask.
You still have to “social distance”
But the DNC did pay back BigPharma for placing Joe.!
Whenever I’m told that something is 99%, the 1% happens. I have no belief in this “90%” BS.
I suggest all trucks, ships and freight trains, stop all deliveries to Portland at once for their own safety
Someone is gonna say “I’ll Sue! I wouldn’t have gotten those shots had I known that it changes almost nothing at all!!”
Most likely the vaccine makers would not have ever agreed to make the doses without also getting a guarantee that protects them from most liability.
Right? I got the Rona and ask i had were mild aches and nasal allergy- like symptoms for two days.
If it lessened my symptoms, it would have been unnoticeable...more so than it already was.
Were they known negative before?
And so it begins PING.

I remember the good old days when we called that a common cold.lol
That is because it is technically not a vacine. It is gene/chemo therapy. Which is why there is still a mask mandate, even if you have taken the so called vaccine.
So which vaccine did they get?
Ho hum...
MORE media hype over a fake positive test...
Corruption has saturated politicians from the lowly town council members to both houses of Congress and now the White House. Corruption permeates throughout big business all over the world. Why should Big Pharma would be any different, or deserve our blind trust and obedience?
It takes 6 to 8 weeks for the vaccines to kick in and even then yes you can still get the virus and transmit it. So this is no surprise.
I guess the geniuses at nbc couldn’t be bothered to say which vaccine.
