https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/covid-vaccination-may-protect-household-members
"COVID-19 patients who were vaccinated against the virus were much less likely to infect household members than unvaccinated patients"
"…household contacts of patients vaccinated in the past six months were 43% less likely to test positive than household contacts of unvaccinated sick people, the study shows"
This effect was not found if the vaccine was more than 7 months ago.

(...) That the #H5N1 virus has already spread so rapidly among #cattle, though, suggests “#USDA has basically dropped the ball, big-time,” said Dr. Michael #Osterholm, director of the #CIDRAP at the University of #Minnesota, in an interview with CNN Friday. “I think it was out of fear to protect industry.
