Hilary Duff has tested positive for the Delta variant of COVID-19, but she is grateful to have received her vaccine before contracting the disease.

“That Delta [variant]… she’s a little b*tch,” the actress said while showing a photo of herself in bed through her Instagram Story last Friday, Aug. 20. Some of her symptoms include headache, loss of taste and smell, sinus pressure and “brain fog.”

The actress’ diagnosis is known as a “breakthrough infection,” a rare instance where vaccinated individuals get sick with a less severe case of COVID-19.

According to Food and Drug Administration director-general Eric Domingo, only 0.0013% of the 9.1 million fully vaccinated individuals make up breakthrough infections in the Philippines.

While it’s possible for breakthrough infections to occur, health experts remind the public that getting COVID-19 jabs can prevent severe cases and deaths among the vaccinated. JB
