Patients don't immediately develop COVID-19 protection after being vaccinated.
"We know from the vaccine clinical trials that it’s going to take about 10 to 14 days for you to start to develop protection from the vaccine," Ramers said.
Even after those 10 to 14 days, patients still need a second vaccine dose for full protection. "That first dose we think gives you somewhere around 50%, and you need that second dose to get up to 95%," Ramers added.
Another possibility: Since the incubation period for COVID-19 can be as long as 14 days, it's also possible that Matthew was infected prior to receiving the vaccine on Dec. 18.
Both potential scenarios are a reminder that vaccines aren't a panacea. Instead, experts say, stemming the pandemic will take time and continued adherence to fundamental public health practices like social distancing, masks and hand washing.
