ORLANDO, Fla. – As the race to get Floridians vaccinated continues, Central Florida health leaders are warning that people who recovered from COVID-19 could still get infected again.
Dr. Tim Hendrix, the medical director of AdventHealth Centra Care, participated in the hospital’s morning briefing on Thursday and said if you had COVID-19 and recovered, you can still get reinfected.
