As far as I know it's rare for vaccines to actually prevent transmission for viruses. This is why quite a few vets were extremely cautious about the covid vaccine. I think we got lucky that it didn't turn into a marek situation with covid. And it still could.

Leaky vaccines are a serious problem but only a small group of vaccines fit that definition and, so far, that's the only real example of it happening in animals at scale.
