and whom to test postvaccination has major public health repercussions.

COVID-19 vaccines are efficacious in reducing transmission of symptomatic COVID-19 (2) . Reduction in transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 postvaccination is unclear (3) . Vaccinated persons can still transmit the disease even if they are asymptomatic. (4) . Testing everyone before and after vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 is not a cost-effective strategy.
