"Its spreads more easily so its going to find those pockets in each community where people aren't vaccinated and its going to do a lot of damage," says CDC Director, Dr. Richard Besser.
While there have still been cases of fully vaccinated people getting the virus the main goal of the vaccine is to prevent people from becoming hospitalized.
