​(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Illinois Senate President Don Harmon has contracted a so-called breakthrough case of coronavirus after being vaccinated this spring.

Harmon -- an Oak Park Democrat -- said he began experiencing mild symptoms late last week and quarantined while awaiting results. Upon being diagnosed with coronavirus, Harmon said contract tracing began.

“I’m even more grateful to be vaccinated, given how mild my symptoms have been,” he said in a tweet. “I encourage everyone to get vaccinated and also to not let their guard down as we try to get back to normal.”
