Yes it is possible to get covid infection even after 15 days of covid
Important is that this infection is less severe moreover not life threatening
So pt should be evaluated for corona and corona should be ruled out before labeling false positive
Posibility of corona must be first
First is rt pcr test along with other routine examination
HRCT should be considered
If cough, dyspnoea , chest pain , desaturation is present
Next Steps
HRCT mostly helps in diagnosis and know severity
Health Tips
before diagnosis is confirmed pt may continue with
paracetamol 600 mg 1sos for fever and aches
famocid 40 mg od tab or equivalent drug
doxycycline 100 mg bid
tab ivemectin 12mg bid
along with other sos drugs
if any other symptoms like
cough , dyspnoea etc present

It is possible to get infected after vaccination.
Symptoms due to vaccination usually present in the first few days after dosage.
Symptoms after 15 days might not be due to the vaccine. It might be a infection.
Consult online for advise on what to do further.

False positive report is unlikely. Vaccine only decreases severity of the disease. You can catch covid 19 any day after vaccination.
Start treatment without delay. Consult online for assessment and prescription and second opinion if you already consulted any doctor.

Patient can get positive after second dose of vaccine. Various vaccines have is either killed virus or viral fragments which prepare our immune system to fight when actual virus arrive which makes it lesser extent of disease.

Yes it is possible if you do not maintain the necessary precautions!
Even after getting vaccinated it is necessary to maintain all the precautions like - wearing a mask , sanitising frequently and social distancing
It would be better to consult for further evaluation
