According to studies COVISHIELD was found 78% effective after first dose and 97% effective after second.
Nevertheless it’ll protect you from severe infection and getting hospitalised. Don’t forget to wear mask and maintain social distancing cause prevention is better than cure.

The job of vaccine is to train your body for infection.
It reduces the severity of the illness incase you ever catch covid. IT DOES NOT PROTECT YOU FROM COVID, IT ONLY REDUCES THE SEVERITY OF ILLNESS.
coming to second part of the question. Your immunity builds up within a few days after the first dose itself. The second dose is to remind the body after a certain time interval.
Next Steps
Any covid vaccine doesn't protect you against corona, it only reduces the severity of the illness or rate of hospitalization.
