I see numerous threads like this being posted and I think people should know what the vaccine does and what it does not do.
What it does;
It gives you full immunity.
What it does not do;
It doesn't make your body unable to still catch the virus.
You can still get covid but you won't develop symptoms.

So with that in mind, non-vaccinated people who are around vaccinated people will still get covid and because they don't have the immunity, they will get sick.

I wouldn't make such an absolute statement as "full immunity", but it was effective enough that zero people in the clinical trials required hospitalization if they caught COVID (note that this would be about 1% of people who get COVID in the general unvaccinated population). The highest vaccine efficacy (after two doses) is about 95-98%, so it's not like no one who is vaccinated will ever be infected. However, it's going be more like getting a cold if you've been vaccinated, as you'll have mild symptoms, be less contagious, and generally won't suffer much more than inconvenience from needing to stay home for a bit.
