Getting COVID-19 after receiving the vaccine is possible, but extremely rare and less frequent than most causes of hospitalization

Getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19 after being vaccinated is possible, but very rare (and much more so than from other everyday causes)

Different vaccines against COVID-19 have different degrees of effectiveness, but none reaches 100%. That means it is possible to contract the disease even after receiving the full course of the vaccine, although it is an extremely rare possibility. In the United States, where more than 76 million people have already been vaccinated with the full cycle, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported 5,800 cases of infections after being vaccinated when the total number of vaccinated was 66 million. That is, an incidence of 0.0088%.

Of those 5,800 cases, 29% contracted the disease asymptomatically, and only 7% required hospitalization. The death toll is 74, only 1.3% of those infected. In other words: of the 66 million vaccinated, only 0.0001% died of COVID-19, and the vast majority of those who still got it did so without serious symptoms.
