A New Jersey man that was fully vaccinated against COVID-19 is now in a critical condition after contracting a COVID-19 infection.

According to the details, Laura Eugene’s husband is in the hospital fighting for his life. She says they got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine back on March 6, 2021. However, after getting completely vaccinated, the man started to feel sick on April 1, 2021.

Laura says, “He started to feel like he had a sore throat stuffy, his coughing and then he started to run a fever, started to feel fatigue. He just gets it every day — just kept on getting a symptom.”

Her husband tested positive for COVID on April 1, she says. Now he is in critical condition and is being treated for pneumonia as well.

“I think he’s more concerned about me, so I try to stay positive so he can see that I’m okay so that he can fight. I need him to fight,” Eugene said.

Eugene says she and her husband were thrilled to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine because it was one and done. Never did they imagine the whole family would still get sick.

Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson announced a huge setback in their vaccine. They report there was contamination at their facility in Baltimore which means millions of doses are no good and production this week will drop by 85%.

The pharmaceutical giant had promised to provide 100 million doses by the end of May.
