Description:Updated Nov. 9, 2021
COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing infection, serious illness, and death. Most people who get COVID-19 are unvaccinated. However, since vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infection, some people who are fully vaccinated will still get COVID-19.
An infection of a fully vaccinated person is referred to as a “vaccine breakthrough infection.”
Bottom Line: COVID-19 vaccines protect everyone ages 5 years and older against severe illness, including disease caused by the Delta variant and other variants circulating in the United States.
