But he warned that while the vaccine performed very well — it was 94% protective against symptomatic Covid, across all age groups, even older adults — some fully vaccinated people did develop severe illness and some died. During the period of the study, nine people who were fully vaccinated died from Covid-19, compared to 32 people who had not yet been vaccinated.

“These vaccines are not a force field around you that negates the chance that you will have an illness or that you will have a severe illness,” Balicer said, noting that while two doses of the vaccine offer substantial protection against severe Covid infection and death, “there is residual risk.”
I'm already cautioning friends and loved ones against exuberance for the vaccine. We are still very much in the thick of it. This is still a global experiment.

Vigilance!
