NEW JERSEY - A man from Edison, New Jersey is fighting for his life after contracting COVID-19 and despite having received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to his wife.

Laure Eugene says she and her husband, Francisco Cosme, 52, tested positive for the coronavirus on April 1 after they were vaccinated on March 6 at the Javits Center in Manhattan.

Cosme, who is diabetic, is in an intensive care unit in critical condition at John F. Kennedy Medical Center.

"He just started getting very sick, Eugene told FOX 5 NY program, 'Good Day New York. "On the 31st he was sick which is why he was tested. All the way to the 7th he was sick. He had a cold, fever, chills, could not walk, very weak, sleeping, so he went to the emergency room. They gave him an IV and they sent him home. They said he's fully vaccinated. The next day he got worse and he ended up in critical care."
