NFL Network analyst Rich Eisen has tested positive for COVID-19, even after being fully vaccinated.
“As someone sitting Day 4 in quarantine fighting off symptoms, I can personally attest you still need to be careful and, most importantly, get vaccinated,” read a recent post on Instagram by Eisen.
Eisen is 52 years old. The analyst received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine in February. Eisen claims health officials told him that without the vaccine his symptoms would have been far more severe.
