Where did I say that?
Just because you have been given the vaccine,
doesn't give you instant immunity from the real one still out there. You would still have to self-isolate/shield from that real version that is still out there, whilst your immune system can build an immunity to the fake version that also works on the real version.
You would still be vulnerable from getting the real version and it developing to the infectious stage.

In general, it takes about two weeks after getting a vaccine for antibodies to develop in the body that protect against the diseases the vaccine is made to protect against.

It is NOT INSTANT.
