However, according to the CDC, a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated can get the infection if exposed to the virus. Research data suggests the effect of Pfizer and moderna vaccines to last for at least 6 months, but still there&#8217;s not enough data to prove that for all Covid-19 vaccines.
