You being vaccinated only cuts off the path that the virus can take to somebody if the vaccine gives you sterilising immunity - otherwise, it may just prevent you experiencing disease symptoms, but not stop you being infectious.
There isn't enough evidence yet to understand whether the leading vaccines induce sterilising immunity yet. As such, we can't rely on these vaccines to give us herd immunity.
