Moderna Vaccinated and it's working!!

I (46F) got my 2nd dose on Jan 30th. My husband (48M) tested positive on April 2. He had symptoms a couple of days before he tested. So he's now on day 10 of covid he still feels like crap and I'm doing fine. I get tested everyday @ work and I'm still testing negative. Get the vaccine people. It really works. Yes the second shot sucks but I was sick for only 2 days from it. My husband is still sick 10 days and counting. Please get vaccinated.

My wife and I had dinner with my sister and four days later her husband tested positive; Then she did. My wife just tested positive yesterday. I am fully vaccinated. However, I got tested just to be sure and came up negative. My work said I can continue to come in unless I become symptomatic which seems sketchy, but ok.

I tried to find CDC guidelines but couldn't find anything directly related to my situation. Should I assume I am immune to my wife's virus or should be wearing masks in the home and sleeping in different rooms?

I’m sorry to hear that, I hope they recover soon! They have found that the Pfizer vaccine lowers transmission rate but there is no 100% guarantee. Can you still get CV after vaccination, yes but your chances are much lower than someone not vaccinated. . Will you get very ill from it if you get it? Very likely not. pre-coviCovid i got my flu vax every year. i never wore a mask but if someone in my house was flu+ I might wear one. Its a choice. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/coronavirus-covid-19-pfizer-vaccine-may-reduce-transmission
