He described his symptoms as mild and said he was working with his doctors to limit any health complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austin said he received both the COVID-19 vaccination early last year and a booster shot in early October. He said doctors told him that \u201cmy fully vaccinated status \u2026 have rendered the infection much more mild than it would otherwise have been.
