The COVID vaccine is not sterilizing, meaning it does not guarantee prevention of disease. Instead it prevents serious infections that'll put you into the hospital or worse. The flu vaccine works the same way.

I absolutely will take a shot that turns a COVID infection from hospitalization into a bad cold.
