The vaccine does not stop the transmission of the virus. It can reduce the length of time you have viral shedding, but for the first 5 or 6 days, the nasopharngeal viral levels are the same for vaccinated and unvaccinated people. This allows several days for the virus to be spread before the vaccine starts to reduce viral load.
