The vaccines that have received emergency use authorizations in recent months are highly effective at blocking severe cases of COVID-19 and saving lives. The efficacy was even higher than initial estimates for some vaccines, with recent studies showing that the vaccines are working just as expected in real-world use.
Countries like Israel and the UK have released various studies highlighting the effectiveness of these drugs and their direct effect on local coronavirus outbreaks. The most recent research from Pfizer and BioNTech is the first to indicate that vaccines can prevent asymptomatic transmission, which is a significant development for the drug.
But none of the various vaccines that are used in the US and elsewhere are 100% effective. People are still at risk of symptomatic infection, including a severe COVID-19 experience after vaccination. These are the "breakthrough" cases that have already appeared. A teacher from Texas who tested positive for the novel coronavirus after receiving her complete vaccine regimen explained what she might have done wrong after immunization, stressing that health measures, including face masks, are still essential even after getting both shots.
