Once I Get Vaccinated, Can I Still Get Sick?

It is possible you could still get sick as the vaccines are 95% effective, therefore there is a small chance that if you are exposed to COVID-19, you might get sick. It is also possible to get sick with COVID-19 a few weeks after the vaccination if you have been exposed to the virus. It takes a few weeks to build an immune response after being vaccinated. So it’s possible that someone could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 and get sick just before or just after vaccination.
