The short answer is YES, YES and YES. Our body needs time to build immunity and produces antibodies to protect against future infections by the same virus. It is usually 10 to 14 days after you get vaccinated. First dose: current data show 50 to 70% of patients get immunity after the first dose. Thus, many will still be vulnerable to serious Covid-19 infection. Second dose: yes, data show that 94% effectiveness about the Covid-19 vaccine. However, there is still a 5% chance that you do not develop antibodies or immunity against Covid-19. Even if you have immunity, it does not mean that you will not get infected. Having immunity or antibodies against a particular bacterium or virus just means that your body is ready to fight that infection, thus give you a better chance of overcoming the infection really fast and not get seriously sick if infected. However, those around you without antibodies/immunity can still get infected by you and get seriously sick. So please wear your mask, social distance etc to protect yourself and those around you. As of November 1st, 2021, the CDC recommends that all individuals regardless of vaccination status should still wear masks in settings of indoor exposure. Learn More: Your Guide to Masks | CDC
