Three U.S. senators announced Thursday that they contracted COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated.

Sens. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.; Angus King, I-Maine, and John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., said they tested positive after experiencing mild or limited symptoms and are currently isolating to stop further spread of coronavirus.

Positive COVID-19 tests among the vaccinated population are considered “breakthrough” cases amid the arrival of the highly contagious delta variant.

“I’ve tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19,” tweeted Hickenlooper. “I feel good but will isolate per docs instructions. I’m grateful for the vaccine (& the scientists behind it!) for limiting my symptoms.”
