“I had my antibodies from my vaccine,” she added.

“So I had all the symptoms… I did get tested, you know the test that I had and it said that I had it but then the nurse that came and tested me for my antibodies said that I probably had the RSV virus [Respiratory syncytial virus].”

McEntire previously said during a TikTok livestream that she and her “CSI: Miami” actor boyfriend, Rex Linn, both fell ill from the virus despite being fully vaccinated.

“Stay home. Just stay safe. Stay healthy,” she began in the clip. “It’s not fun to get this. I did get it. Rex and I got it and it’s not fun. You don’t feel good.”
