I believe it is 95% effective at getting the disease with symptoms. I understand they never tested people who had no symptoms in their trials.

That's what I have seen mentioned repeatedly on HN. Some of the comments link to articles and studies, but not being a doctor myself, I have not verified them

Ok thanks. Btw, I think my comment is actually correct with that definition, given how having the disease (COVID-19) implies having symptoms. IIRC that's precisely when they say you have SARS-CoV-2 (the virus, which you'd be an asymptomatic carrier of), but not COVID-19 (the disease).
