When you get infected is when the vaccine kicks in,” said Dr. Lenchus.
The vaccine helps arm your immune system to fight off the infection. Vaccinated patients who get COVID-19 should experience less severe symptoms and symptoms that are shorter in duration.
As of July 19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 5,914 breakthrough COVID-19 cases.
According to the CDC, it’s not certain if the virus caused the hospitalizations or deaths.
The CDC is only tracking “breakthrough cases” involving hospitalizations or death.
The CDC’s website has all kinds of information on breakthrough cases, noting how they are expected, and how no vaccine is 100% effective in preventing illness.
