Excuse me, sir.
I put good time in to answer your question. If you put in equal time to what I did, you will know that this is a very hard stat to nail down. The articles I read said that we need better tracking to answer your question.
I tried to satisfy your inquiry by giving related info. I failed to find exactly what you want, but how does that bear on the bigger vaccination questions?
The best answer I found said that some of the virus shed from vaccinated folks consisted of some dead, weakened, & thus less virulent virus particles. Hence, on the whole the shed would be less virulent. To prove this you would have to culture many viral samples, which we don't do.
