Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has contracted covid. Her office confirmed in a statement at the weekend, but has AOC been vaccinated?
The Democratic congresswoman made the announcement on Sunday evening via a letter posted on her Twitter profile.
AOC TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID
On Sunday night (January 9th), her office confirmed that she had tested positive. And stated that:
“she experiencing symptoms however she was recovering at home”
“The congresswoman received her booster shot this fall and encourages everyone to get their booster and follow all Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) guidance,” the statement added.
According to The Daily Mail, the Democratic congresswoman was spotted a week ago in Miami with her boyfriend, Riley Roberts where they attended an outdoor event.
As reported by the Mail, Florida confirmed a record 150,251 covid cases on January 4th, around the time the New York representative was in Miami.
In other news, New York City has seen a surge in cases in recent weeks due to the rapid spread of omicron.
According to The New York Times, New York City had 74,182 confirmed cases on Sunday, January 9th – a 128% rise in the past two weeks.
IS AOC VACCINATED?
Yes, AOC is fully vaccinated and received her booster jab last autumn.
She received a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine in October 2021, writing at the time on her Instagram Stories:
“My side effects from the first two shots have largely been a sore arm and day-after fatigue. Right now, my arm is sore again.”
She added:
“But I am not as tired as I was the last time. We’ll see tomorrow.”
In a press release from September 2021, the Food and Drug Administration approved the Pfizer booster for certain populations six months after their first jab.
AOC PROVIDES RESOURCES IN ANOTHER TWEET
She showed full concern in a follow-up tweet, where she provided a link to CDC and NYC resources for those who have contracted the virus and need to book a test or vaccine appointment.

Although it is unclear when and where she contracted the virus, she has followed protocol. She informed the public about her contraction and vaccination, taken her booster vaccine jab. AOC has also proved resourceful with information in her social media handles. It is safe to say that she has a handle on the situation.
