disclose a breakthrough infection after being vaccinated against the
coronavirus, saying Monday he is “very glad” he received the vaccine,
without which his current symptoms would be “far worse.”
The news prompted several other lawmakers to get quick COVID-19 tests and
report their status. A handful of Senate colleagues spent part of the
weekend working and socializing with the South Carolina Republican, who
attended a gathering on Sen. Joe Manchin’s houseboat the evening that he
first developed symptoms.
In a statement issued Monday afternoon, Graham said he “started having flu-
like symptoms Saturday night” and went to the doctor Monday morning.
After being notified of his positive test, Graham said he would quarantine
for 10 days.
“I feel like I have a sinus infection, and at present time, I have mild
symptoms,” the 66-year-old Graham said. “I am very glad I was vaccinated
because without vaccination, I am certain I would not feel as well as I do
now. My symptoms would be far worse.” | V********u
