One study suggests it's possible maybe even likely:

In another dispiriting setback for the nation's efforts to stamp out the coronavirus, scientists who studied a big COVID-19 outbreak in Massachusetts concluded that vaccinated people who got so-called breakthrough infections carried about the same amount of the coronavirus as those who did not get the shots.

.... Previously, vaccinated people who got infected were thought to have low levels of virus and to be unlikely to pass it to others. But the new data shows that is not the case with the delta variant.

The outbreak in Provincetown - a seaside tourist spot on Cape Cod in the county with Massachusetts' highest vaccination rate - has so far included more than 900 cases. About three-quarters of them were people who were fully vaccinated.
