Vaccinations are crucial in reducing the available pool for the evolutionary success of the virus. Even though the majority of cases occur in unvaccinated people, there are still mild cases in vaccinated people, and therefore, it is necessary to continue pushing for worldwide vaccination to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Summary
Increasing the number of vaccinated individuals is key in reducing the evolutionary success of the virus and slowing down the cycle of breakthrough variants. Virologists and epidemiologists model the evolutionary rate of the virus as a function of unvaccinated people getting infected every day.
