Wrong.
A real vaccine would do just that, otherwise it's not called a vaccine.
Polio for example.

Really? So the flu vaccine, which has been around for at least a couple of decades but which doesn't guarantee 100% that you won't get flu isn't a vaccine by your definition. You obviously need to go and school the NHS, because they are getting it all wrong
Actually no vaccine prevents people from catching what ever it is for. It They just change the outcome. The effects of some last longer than others
Polio
Before traveling to areas that have WPV or VDPV circulation, travelers should ensure that they have completed the recommended age-appropriate polio vaccine series (see Infants and Children below). Adults who have completed a primary series should receive a single lifetime IPV booster dose if traveling to these areas.
USA info but the same applies in the west. You've had your usual but have a booster before you go.
There was a QI (quite interesting) report on the box last night about the covid issues in China. Apparently, all brought about by the fact that take up of boosters is very low in the older generations - less than 20%. This allows the virus to spread rapidly and the varieties to overlap, making it impossible for immunity to get on top.
We don't realise how lucky we are over here that the large part of the population will, selflessly, line up and do our bit, benefitting everybody.

In the case of the covid vaccine, the jab DID NOT cause your sore arm, because the covid vaccines have ABSOLUTELY NO adverse effects.
I've heard that said a lot in last couple of years, but had never heard it said of any vaccine before covid.

Puke. Most people got the jab for selfish reasons: namely (unfounded) fear of dying a painful death or to go on holiday. There was no sudden outbreak of altruism.
A vaccine works by getting the body to make anti bodies creating a level of immunity.
vaccines Don’t necessarily prevent infection, and therefore they don’t necessarily stop transmission.

Where has that been claimed by an official legitimate source? It has been claimed by the anti vaxers but I've never seen it in any vaccine supporting information.
Pure BS unless you can provide your proof

Noseall and Denso said it, they are official legitimate sources. They are authorities on things that didn’t happen.

My selfish reason was that having had pneumonia about 30 years previously I didn't fancy having a catheter (drain) in my chest for several weeks again. My selfish reason was that having had radio- chemo in the past I have a suppressed immune system, so flu or Covid could kill me. My selfish reason was that I wanted to continue living as opposed to possibly dying of an avoidable disease because I hadn't taken mitigating steps. So yes , selfish, in the same way that having a flu jab, or pneumonia jab, or an anti-tettanus jab or a malaria jab is.
But the plus side is that if you are vaccinated the risks of getting these diseases is reduced, as are the effects if you do get them - and that in turn brings advantages to the whole of society by, for example, reducing workplace absences (at least by duration), GP visits and hospital treatments - none of which are selfish reasons for habing a jab.
But if anyone is dumb enough to think that Covid is nothing more than a cold, maybe you should consider that colds don't kill millions these days. Or maybe it's just that nobody in your circle died of it
There's gratitude for you.

I suggest that next time you have a flu jab you ask the pharmacist about the efficacy of the vaccine, then. They won't EVER make you 100% immune, but if you do get flu being vavcinated reduces the severitt and often the duration of the symptoms. But you need to ask and stop basing everything on heresay and misunderstanding
