There are very few "sterilizing vaccines", i.e., those that produce


sterilizing immunity, meaning that you don’t carry any of the virus. The antibodies that you generate, the responses you generate, clear the virus from your system 100%.

But 96% is right up there with some of the very best of the rest, e.g., measles; 97.1%, mumps; 96.0%, rubella; 98.8% and varicella; 93.5%.

There will be break-through cases, but the value of vaccines is not that they just substantially prevent the target illness, but that they substantially and consistently prevent severe illness. That's why 99.2% of COVID-19 deaths are now among the unvaccinated.
