Trivium frontman Matt Heafy has tested positive for the Coronavirus even after being fully vaccinated. In an instagram post in which Heafy shared his test results, the 35 year old singer had this to say:

“Welp. Went from a non-vaccinated person to [my wife] Ashley (vaccinated) to the kids (unvaccinated) to me (vaccinated). Thankfully due to being vaccinated it merely feels like a tour cold; my dad however got sick without a vaccine and is now 12 weeks into a very terrible recovery with lung/ heart/ liver issues. I outta be good in a day or two. See y’all on stream [referring to his twitch channel] tomorrow regardless!” 

People who contract the virus after full vaccinations are said to have “Breakthrough” infections. Vaccinations help to prevent severe disease and death from the virus but are not guaranteed to prevent infection.
