I heard once a person has been vaccinated, for the next 24 hours, chances of others around that person getting infected rises. This might have contributed to the surge in cases.

How do you decide what you hear is worthy listening to or not?

You are repeating what your colleague said. In effect, you are telling me that you will listen and believe what anyone (or at least your colleague says around you. If this is not the case, you don't really answer my question.

I am not just repeating what my colleague said, her hypothesis is on the verge of becoming what she said (God forbid)

This looks more like fear mongering than anything.

Do you have any citations or reliable sources that advise those taking vaccinations isolate themselves?

My information comes from the fact that my colleague who got vaccinated 2 days ago, now has her 12 year old daughter exhibiting symptoms. The daughter is having 101-103.5 fever since yesterday afternoon.

My colleague told me whatever I said in previous comment.

It sounds like your thinking of a live-attenuated vaccine. An mRNA vaccine could not cause this. These is nothing more than a coincidence

Even if we assume that you somehow can be infected by a vaccine that doesn't contain the virus, if your colleague got infected 2 days ago, it's relatively unlikely a contact person would already have gotten infected from them and be showing symptoms.

With >300k reported and many more unreported cases, her daughter may have got it from anyone or it may be a seasonal fever of April. This is a simple confirmation bias.

How? What is the reason for this?

Well, the vaccines aren’t 100% effective some will still catch and spread it.
