Vaccines are tackling the COVID-19 pandemic in two ways: reducing the severity of infections, and preventing their transmission. Both mechanisms save lives, but the vaccination strategies that leverage each can be conflicting. The former encourages vaccination of society's most vulnerable, who may otherwise succumb to severe infections. The| Aidan Cooper
