“Most” vaccines. The reason why they didn’t have to invent “non-sterilizing” as a term just for COVID vaccines, is because some existing vaccines had this same property. The acellular pertussis vaccine (the aP in TDaP) is non-sterilizing for example, yet I bet you never took any issue with it.

Does measles count as a respiratory infection? It causes coughing, is airborne, and infection happens via nasal passages. The intramuscular measles vaccine seems to work pretty well.
