Vaccines reduce the chance of catching COVID-19, reduce the chance of becoming noticeably sick or very sick or dying, reduce the chance of spreading the disease but they don’t eliminate the disease the way, say, smallpox was eliminated for various biological reasons.

Smallpox is a lot easier to find; people who’ve got it are obvious, and they’re only contagious when they’re visibly symptomatic.
