Vaccines are not just about individual health. Smh.

That is true for perfect vaccines (like measles) where mutation is low and transmission is halted.

What tiktok idiot did you get that gem from?

EVERY case prevented stops a transmission; that's a tautology. EVERY case prevented is one less chance to mutate.

Not every vaccine is fully preventative. But most that require only one dose (like measles) are.

Theres no such thing as perfect vaccines. They all rely on your immune system to do the work. Vaccines just show it what to search for. It is litterally giving your immune system an advantage for very little risk. The earlier your immune system reacts, the less chance for the virus to propagate.
