The 66\u002Dyear\u002Dold said he was \u0027very glad\u0027 he\u0027d already been vaccinated against the virus, otherwise his symptoms \u0027would be far worse\u0027
“I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now. My symptoms would be far worse,” Graham, 66, wrote on Twitter.
“I feel like I have a sinus infection and at present time I have mild symptoms,” Graham, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, wrote in a pair of tweets. “I will be quarantining for ten days.”His announcement comes at a crucial time for the closely divided Senate, where Democratic leaders hope to advance Biden’s agenda in coming weeks by pushing through a roughly US$1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Manchin told reporters that all the invited senators were vaccinated and they were socializing outside for the time it takes to eat a couple of hamburgers. Current guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that fully vaccinated people do not need to quarantine after contact with an infected person unless they develop symptoms, but should be tested 3-5 days after exposure.AdvertisementGraham is among a group of 17 Senate Republicans who have backed the bipartisan infrastructure legislation in procedural votes.
