Does getting vaccinated against covid 19 decrease my risk of catching covid and would it make me test negative for covid faster if I do get it?

Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 can help lower your risk of developing a severe illness and reduce your risk of hospitalization. While it is possible that the vaccine may also help reduce transmission of the virus, this has not been definitively proven. Therefore, it is not guaranteed that receiving the vaccine will result in a negative outcome if you do get infected with COVID-19.
