Americans should get the COVID-19 vaccine even if they were infected with the new disease, a top health official said on Sunday.

“What we know is, it is safe to be immunized after having been exposed to the virus. That has happened in the clinical trials. People that participated in the trials experienced or actually have a viral infection at the time that the trial started,” Operation Warp Speed’s chief scientific adviser Moncef Slaoui said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
