(7,408 posts)if you are fully vaxxed, have a generally healthy body that can fight off a viral load before it gets the best of you. If you use all the other tools like masks, good ventilation, hand washing and keep them out of your face etc to limit how much virus to get from a carrier.
If you do all the things. Use all the tools, your risk is about 0.003%. However, if you are higher risk due to other illnesses, or let your guard down with the other protocols, or close to that 7-8 month window, then your risk factor goes up.
I have a friend who recently died from a breakthrough infection. She had some other issues, age, heart failure etc. They think grandson passed it to her at an outdoor family picnic when he napped in her lap, no masks.
Vaccines are absolutely the best tool we have but they aren't 100% for anyone, especially higher risk people or behaviors. Use all the tools.
