... Most vaccines do not completely prevent you from contracting a virus.

They reduce the liklihood, and thus reduce the footprint.

Heck, the concept of herd immunity is about protecting individuals who cannot be vaccinated at all. By reducing a virus' footprint.

there is no long term herd immunity with coronaviruses; which is why they are often use in disaster prevention scenarios...

Herd immunity, for some definitions of a debated term, is absolutely achievable - and lasting. [0]

> Technically, then, a population can reach herd immunity even with low levels of the pathogen still circulating, which means it hasn't necessarily been eradicated for good.
