Topic	How's a COVID vaccine going to work if people can get infected multiple times?

The problem right now is that we don't know how long the vaccine's efficacy lasts. Ok I guess that would make sense. Are there other vaccines that are taken periodically like that?

But I think SEEING it helps a lot more than being told how it works. But in essence if you reduce how many people can get covid by having a vaccine that is 50%-80% effective than overall the spread of covid will be reduced to the point that it can't be spread anymore and it ceases to exist. Just like polio. But it requires a lot of people to be vaccinated to protect those who can't be vaccinated. Oh yeah I get herd immunity.
