Place and Duration of Study: Tertiary Care Hospital, Islamabad Pakistan, from Feb to Jun 2021. Methodology: The individuals who had two doses of the vaccine (dead inactivated-Vero Cell) and got COVID-19 at least two weeks after vaccination were included in the study. These patients were divided into Mild, Moderate and Severe categories based on their symptoms and Investigations. Results: Out of 5000 individuals vaccinated, 225(4.5%) got infected with COVID-19 later. Among these 225, 172(76.4%) had mild symptoms and recovered, with only 1(0.4%) death was reported.
