This study illustrates<\/a>\u00a0that even when infected with COVID, those who are fully vaccinated were contagious for about half the time and infected much fewer people (almost a quarter fewer) than those who were partially vaccinated or unvaccinated. The COVID vaccine does not completely eliminate the risk of coming down with COVID, but it still\u00a0significantly decreases the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So while people can and do experience breakthrough infection and can still transmit COVID during that time,\u00a0vaccines are a very important part of controlling the spread of COVID<\/a>, along with masking, testing, isolating, etc.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
