Rep. Darren Soto (D-Fla.) announced on Twitter he has tested positive for the coronavirus, despite being fully vaccinated.

To help prevent further potential symptoms, Soto said he received the monoclonal antibody treatment.

“This treatment is helpful but not a substitute for the COVID-19 vaccine. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible,” he wrote on Twitter.
