Vaccines always seem to carry a caveat such as this, at least the flu shot does. Clearly it's the same deal for the Covid-19 vaccine.

An aside, for the OP not you left-of-center2012 .... I wish when people start threads like this they would ask themselves if they are being unnecessarily alarmist in doing so. Without the added context of the two week lag in effectiveness, it would seem as if there could be a disturbing crack in the vaccine's armor. There isn't. This is normal.
