IIRC, the risk of transmitting Covid if you are carrying it, but


asymptomatic and have the vaccine are much lower. Not zero, but much lower.

The vaccine keeps the virus from replicating in your body. So if you are exposed and the virus gets in your body, it doesn't spread like wildfire. You still have the virus, you just don't get symptoms. You could in theory still spread it since the virus will be present in your body. But since it isn't able to multiply like normal, the concentration of the virus in your blood, sweat, tears, or mucus will be a lot lower. So any virus you leave behind when you cough or sneeze will be vastly reduced, thus making it harder for someone to catch it from you.

At least that's the last bit of "science" I've heard on the topic. Which may have changed since then.
