People vaccinated against COVID-19 must wear face masks. This is the reason

The new vaccines for COVID-19 from Pfizer and Moderna appear to be extraordinarily good at preventing the severe version of the disease. But it is unclear how well they will slow the spread of the coronavirus.

That’s because the Pfizer and Moderna tests only tracked how many vaccinated people got sick from COVID-19. That leaves open the possibility that some vaccinated people become infected without developing symptoms, and may then silently transmit the virus, especially if they come into close contact with others or stop wearing a mask.

If vaccinated people are silent carriers of the virus, they can keep it circulating in their communities and thus put unvaccinated people at risk.
