Breakthrough COVID-19 cases aren't proof the vaccines aren't working, experts say, but are normal and expected.

"You could make a reasonable assumption that the rate of transmissibility from the asymptomatic vaccinated person to an uninfected person would be less likely than if the person was unvaccinated," Fauci said at a White House COVID-19 Response Team briefing last week. Experts said the delta variant could be contributing to these cases, but for now, research is ongoing.Pool/Getty Images
