Despite the fact that vaccines protect against infection with COVID, none of them are 100% effective in doing so, so some people can get sick, as with other vaccines, but the forms developed should be much easier.
"Vaccines against COVID-19 provide protection against severe disease and death. But no vaccine is 100% effective in preventing disease, so some people who are vaccinated with the full schedule against COVID-19 may still become infected.
People vaccinated with the full schedule have a much lower risk of developing a severe form or dying from COVID-19 than people who are not vaccinated. To help prevent cases of COVID-19, everyone – even fully vaccinated people – should wear a face mask and follow all protective measures.
Vaccines play an extremely important role in preventing severe forms of COVID-19 and remain very effective in preventing hospitalizations.
Get vaccinated to protect yourself.
By vaccination against COVID-19:
- the risk of infection is reduced;
- the risk of virus transmission is reduced;
- the risk of hospitalization is considerably reduced;
- the risk of death is considerably reduced."
