Can you get infected with COVID-19 after vaccination? This is what government says

The second wave of Covid-19 in the country has proved far more dangerous than the first wave. Some people are being vaccinated against Covid-19 in India. The third phase of India’s Covid-19 vaccination drive has also begun. For those above the age of 18 years are also eligible for the vaccine. The government is ensuring that the maximum number of people take the coronavirus vaccine. But can people get infected with COVID-19 even after they are vaccinated? The Press Information Bureau (PIB) of the Government of India took to Twitter on Saturday to clarify this question.

According to the government, people can get infected with Covid-19 even after getting inoculated.  The vaccine will not allow the virus to further replicate and it will not allow the disease to become more severe. But during that time, your RT-PCR test can be positive and you may be infectious to others so it’s important to follow Covid-19 appropriate behaviour even after vaccination.
