Can you point me to some actual evidence-based recent thinking about the risk of getting sick from a Covid variant after being fully vaccinated?

I'm traveling to a critical hotspot soon, where a more lethal and contagious variant of the virus is creating a true emergency.
I can't tell from breathless news segments whether all these cases driving up the rate of infection in the hotspot are occurring among unvaccinated people, or whether a decent percent of those getting sick now are actually vaccinated?
I hear a lot of speculation that If you get it after the vaccine it won't be as bad. I've also heard anecdotes about people in my own world getting sick in breakout infections after being vaccinated.
I also know not enough time has passed to really know anything for sure. Given that, I am looking for the most reliable discussion about risks of breakout infection for vaccinated people now, as variants are rising, in hot spots.
