I want to know if it is true that some people even having been vaccinated against COVID 19 still get the infection. If so, kindly let me know if it is necessary for me to be vaccinated.

According to medical experts, the COVID-19 vaccines, like all other vaccines, are not 100 percent effective at preventing infections. However, it has been confirmed that fully vaccinated people with a breakthrough infection are less likely to develop serious illness than those who are unvaccinated and get COVID-19. Also, even when fully vaccinated people develop symptoms, they tend to be less severe symptoms than experienced by unvaccinated people, reducing the risk of hospitalization or death. From the above, it is obvious that the vaccinated are much less susceptible to infection, and being vaccinated greatly reduces the likelihood of infection, hospitalization, and death. Therefore, the Covid vaccine is still very effective and its worth having.
