Can you still spread coronavirus after getting the vaccine? | 3 March 2021

The vaccine will shorten the "shedding" time.

  1. Does vaccination completely prevent infection? The short answer is no. But your chances of getting seriously ill are almost zero.
  2. Does infection always mean transmission? Transmission happens when enough viral particles from an infected person get into the body of an uninfected person. But a vaccine will reduce the chance of this happening.
  3. What about the new coronavirus variants? Recent studies show that vaccines are less effective against certain ones, like the B1351 variant first identified in South Africa.
