Yes but as I said we already know that Omicron has a significant ability to evade the vaccine. The strain against which the vaccine was developed had a significant drop-off in cases after the rollout.
The studies do show this as well:

That study is actually about people who are already infected though.
We have real data now given it's been a year that vaccines can stop you catching COVID:

Vaccination significantly reduced the risk of people testing positive during both the Alpha-dominant period and the Delta-dominant period.

That study does show Delta was reduced from Alpha and no doubt Omicron will be less than that given the case numbers but it is unlikely to be 0%.
