Vaccines do NOT build a valve in nose to prevent virus material floating in air, if you are still breathing.
No vaccine can "prevent" virus entering body and causing infection. Only function of vaccine is to create antibodies for the virus, so when it comes in and infects you, the odds are better to kill the virus before it makes you seriously sick. "Cases" are in most cases asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic not requiring hospitalization.
