The vaccine does not provide 100% protection against infection. Protection against symptomatic infection is somewhere in the 80-90% range given the confidence intervals on the various vaccines. Protection against severe infection (requiring hospitalization) has been pretty close to 100% in the real world, though, based on data from the UK and Israel.
So, my question is, how severe were the symptoms for this person?
