Can you still be a carrier after vaccination?

[Mawi]

I have a family member who is refusing to have the vaccination, which is entirely their choice. I am wondering if I am vaccinated can I still carry the virus and infect them.

Sorry if that is a silly question but I am trying to do the best thing for everyone and this person is actually CEV.

I would assume no but have no medical knowledge on it.
If this person has been offered a vaccine and refused then in your shoes I wouldn't worry about being vaccinated myself and still infecting them, they have to take responsibility for the risk they put themselves at.

Unless you are care home staff and about to have the vaccine, I wouldn't bother thinking about it right now. You will both have so much more information by the time your 'turn' comes around.

They don’t know yet. It’s a case of vaccinating a lot of people and seeing.

As other pp has said they still don’t know. The vaccines so far are helping not to have severe cases of COVID. Some people have still caught it abs have mild one. But don’t know whether ir prevents from transmission

Technically unlikely, providing the vaccine grants you full immunity (which it doesn't for everyone), but like a PP says we'll have much more information once it's been rolled out a while

I assume that isn't known at the moment.

The answer isn’t known

This. This is why we don't know how much difference the vaccine will make and how quickly.

They barely bothered testing anyone for covid in the Pfizer trial so we have no idea. The Oxford one doesn't seem to stop you actually getting it but we don't know if you'd be contagious.

Thank you everyone. Will just have to take a wait and see approach.
