How about reduces transmission.
Vaccines FAQ - Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
In general, most vaccines do not completely prevent infection but do prevent the infection from spreading within the body and from causing disease.
Many vaccines can also prevent transmission, potentially leading to herd protection
whereby unvaccinated people are protected from infection by the vaccinated people around them because they have less chance of exposure to the virus.
Vaccines FAQ - Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
From December 2020 through November 2022, we estimate that the COVID-19 vaccination program in the U.S. prevented more than 18.5 million additional hospitalizations and 3.2 million additional deaths.
Without vaccination, there would have been nearly 120 million more COVID-19 infections.
