Based on what scientists know, the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are more than 94% effective at preventing COVID-19. This means even if you ve gotten both of your vaccine shots you can contract the disease and spread it (even if you don t show symptoms). You also only reach full protection from the virus two weeks after receiving your second dose, meaning you will still be able to contract and spread the virus before then.
Dr. Olayiwola Adetuji, who has worked as a hospitalist at CentraCare for over 17 years, said in order to get to herd immunity meaning enough people in your community have been vaccinated or become immune to the disease it no longer is able to mutate and spread 80% of people need to be vaccinated. So far, only about 27% of people in the St. Cloud area have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
