Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan took to Instagram to inform everyone that she has tested COVID-19 positive. Farah added that despite taking all precautions and both doses of the vaccine she tested positive, and urged everyone to stay safe.
Farah took to her Instagram Story to write, "I wonder if this happened coz (because) I didn’t put my “kaala teeka”.. Despite being double vaccinated and working with mostly double vaxxed people.. I’ve still managed to test positive for Covid. I’ve already informed everyone I came in contact with, to get tested. However, if I have forgotten someone (because of old age and fading memory) Pls test yourself. Hoping to recover soon.”
Farah was recently seen in a special episode of the dance reality show Super Dancer: Chapter 4.
Please Note
Virologists have explained that it is important to remember that vaccines will protect against disease and not from infection. Taking a vaccine does not guarantee you won't get the infection, but it ensures the infection does not cause severe disease. It's also important to understand the partial protection kicks in two weeks after the first dose and full protection kicks in 2 weeks after the second dose.
