general patton No, the point of a vaccine is to give people equivalent, or better, immune response to the virus as they would have gotten had they contracted it. It's largely meant to be a replacement for actually contracting the disease. This typically results in immunity or cases being so mild as to be unnoticeable without laboratory equipment, but the goal has always been to prevent death and disability, the not getting sick in the first place is just a bonus.

@ToughLoveRecords A big mistake that Trump made was not assigning FEMA to handle distribution. It led to nuttiness like in WA where teachers got vaccinated before food services workers. It doesn't really make much sense to bump teachers that had been teaching remotely ahead of the people in the food supply chain that can't work remotely and are about as essential as you get.

@camaelyonzz7443 Primarily, but you do also have a few people that get the right vaccination and for one reason or another the immune system didn't get enough of a boost. But, typically it's due to the wrong strains being chosen or having mutated in the meantime. They'll try to guess what the dominant strains will be in the fall and winter, but they're doing it months in advance to get the doses manufactured in time for distribution.
