- refurb 4y agoIt's becoming pretty clear that vaccine doesn't really protect against infection, it protects against severe disease, do your experience is pretty much in line.

- AstralStorm 4y agoIt protects mostly against death and only partly against severe disease. And only for a few months after the shot too, really.
- glial 4y agoSame here.
- monksy 4y agoI can't answer this for Omicron however for delta and original strain, it took 3 days on average to become contagious and 5 days on average to become symptomatic/test positive with a RAT. (There are extreme examples of it being 14 days). It is more than reasonable that you were infected after the booster and before it was fully effective. The vaccine is reported to take 14 days to be considered to be in full effect.
- thehappypm 4y agoIt is possible. I chalk the booster up to giving me a very, very mild (borderline asymptomatic) case but the timing perhaps not giving me the zero symptoms.
