A new CDC study finds mRNA COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of infection by 91%, adding to the growing body of real-world evidence of their effectiveness. Because no vaccine is 100% effective, some people who are fully* vaccinated will get COVID-19. This study is among the first to show secondary vaccination benefits for people who got infected after they were fully or partially** vaccinated. Benefits included:

-Fewer sick days in bed
-Less likely to have fever or chills
-May be less likely to spread the virus to others

*Full vaccination was defined in this study as 14 or more days after dose 2.
**Partial vaccination was defined as 14 or more days after dose 1 to 13 days after dose 2.
