Danger is people getting the jab then thinking they're immune. It isn't 100% and immunity takes time, plus of course these new variants.
Politicians saying when 'we'll get back to normal' are either misinformed or misleading.

I'm surprised a nurse doesn't know it takes time for the immune system to build a defence.

It may take a week or two for your body to build up some protection from the first dose of vaccine. Like all medicines, no vaccine is completely effective, so you should continue to take recommended precautions to avoid infection. Some people may still get COVID-19 despite having a vaccination, but this should be less severe.
