NEW YORK – A New York Yankees player and several team staffers tested positive for the coronavirus although they were vaccinated, the baseball club said this week, underscoring that it's possible to get an infection even after the shots.
A brief look at the cases: WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE TEAM? Player Gleyber Torres, three coaches and four staff member have tested positive for the virus since Sunday.
All eight had gotten the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine in March or April, the Yankees said. With the J&J shot, people are considered fully protected two weeks later.
Seven of the eight did not develop any symptoms; a coach had symptoms that have since gone away, the team said. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
