The number of so-called breakthrough cases was just 605 out of 1.8 million people.
While you may have heard of concerns after vaccination, a vaccine expert with Gundersen Health System says there is an explanation for that.
“There is actually a bias we introduce to this whole understanding of the vaccines. Because people that have an understanding of the vaccines because people that have side effects are much more likely to share their story,” said Gundersen Health System’s Dr. Raj Naik.

The decision comes after the federal review of side effects and a recommendation by the Federal Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – New studies are showing that COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna not only prevent people who are exposed to the virus, but also prevent them from spreading the virus to others.
While vaccination rates are climbing here and around the globe, it doesn’t mean life will immediately return to normal.
“We’re not quite at the point where it means you are vaccinated, you can do whatever you want. But there is going to be incremental improvements in your freedom to do things as you are vaccinated and more of the population becomes vaccinated,” said Gundersen Health System Dr. Raj Naik.
