Does the vaccine completely prevent an individual from getting and transmitting COVID-19?

No vaccine provides 100% protection from COVID-19. It typically takes a few weeks for the body to build immunity after vaccination. That means it is possible a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and still get sick because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.

In addition, efficacy is measured not only by a vaccine's ability to prevent infection but also in its prevention of severe forms of the disease and of forward transmission. While a vaccinated person may not be completely prevented from getting infected, s/he will still have a reduced risk of getting severe forms of COVID-19. If more people have this reduced risk, then we can more effectively reduce transmission.
