Two high-profile Georgians have recently been diagnosed with COVID-19, both after having been fully vaccinated.

Last week WSB TV News anchor Fred Blankenship announced that he had contracted coronavirus while on vacation in California. 

Blankenship made the announcement on Wednesday.  Then, on Friday of last week – Georgia State School Superintendent Richard Woods tested positive; he had just been in several meetings on Thursday.  All of those that the school superintendent came in contact with have been notified of his diagnosis.  Reports indicate Woods is currently experiencing “cold-like symptoms” and is quarantined at home.

The CDC in Atlanta says they are tracking and monitoring infections among persons who are fully vaccinated – and monitoring trends in case characteristics and variants identified from persons with these infections.
