Which vaccine did Bill Maher get?

AMERICAN comedian Bill Maher has tested positive for coronavirus – despite being fully vaccinated.

The political commentator and TV host said he feels "perfectly fine" but halted the taping of his talk show "Real Time with Bill Maher" on May 14.

Maher, 65, tested positive for Covid during weekly staff PCR testing, HBO and "Real Time" said in a statement on Twitter.

"He is fully vaccinated and as a result is asymptomatic and feels fine," the statement said.

"Real Time production has taken every precaution following COVID CDC guidelines.

"No other staff or crew members have tested positive at this time. The show will be rescheduled at a later date."

Maher wrote on Twitter: "Thanks to all wishing me get well – hard to do since I feel perfectly fine, but I appreciate it!

"Most upset about ending my streak going back to 1993 of never missing a Politically Incorrect or Real Time episode.

"Oh well, even Cal Ripken had to sit one out at some point."

In the United States, three Covid vaccines are currently authorized for use – Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson.

It's not know which vaccine Maher was given.

The comedian does not appear to have revealed any information about his jab on his social media.

The CDC website said "vaccines are effective and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control".

"However no vaccines are 100% effective at preventing illness," it said.

"There will be a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated who still get sick, are hospitalized, or die from Covid-19."
