The shots don't prevent you from getting infected, don't even prevent you from passing it on. They do prevent you getting very sick, or rather give you a head start on beating the virus.
Some people hardly notice anything from Covid-19, they can still carry it and pass it on though. Everyone reacts differently to the virus. My wife got very badly ill twice now (and still not fully recovered, her hearing on the right is slowly coming back finally), my one kid was sick for a week then relapsed and was sick for another week. The other was fine after a couple days. I had a sore throat for a month the first time in 2020 and just a little bit tired the second time earlier this year. If my wife and kids didn't have it I would have never thought my bit of extra tiredness was from Covid. I had a bigger reaction to the 3rd shot!
So yeah the shots can get you over it quickly and you might never notice you caught it. They also make you less contagious and for a shorter period, so you're also helping out others by getting vaccinated. But they don't prevent getting infected.

An infectious disease expert believes Ontario's decision to lift COVID-19 isolation rules will trigger a "massive eighth wave" as children head back to school next week.
Ontario announced Wednesday that its mandatory five-day isolation rule for individuals who test positive for COVID-19 will be scrapped. Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore said that sick individuals should still isolate and return to work or school 24 hours after their symptoms end.
As if our anxiety level wasn't high enough yet with back 2 school coming next week.
