It can 100% help with transmission. It won't stop it outright, but that doesn't mean it doesn't help.
I can't find reference to it, but in the past I recall seeing communities that vaccinated the majority of the kids in their schools against the flu seeing massively reduced cases.
It makes sense as well, vaccines shorten severity and duration ... it makes sense that the viral load and thus the ability for the virus to spread is greatly reduced.
