Please provide a source for your claim that prevention of transmission was a requirement.
Phase 3
Clinical trials include many thousands of participants. They aim to test whether a vaccine is effective in preventing people from getting the disease – in this case COVID-19. Phase 3 trials also thoroughly assess the vaccine for safety and side effects.

Prevention of transmission is always an integral part of the vaccine trials.
You need to stop engaging in vaccine apologetics.

Given the limited supply of vaccine, national or local authorities have said they will first provide it to groups most at risk of becoming seriously ill or of transmitting the virus, such as front-line health care workers or the people living in nursing homes.

Back in December 2020 .....it was being sold as if it did.

That doesn't say anything about stopping transmission.
You want to try again.

An arguably reasonable assumption that people who don't get the virus are less likely to pass it on.
That is different from it being a requirement of approval for the vaccine as Asmodeous is claiming.

Of course it does. You may want to try yourself again.
One of the aims as described above is to see whether a vaccine effective in preventing people from getting the disease. How do vaccines prevent a disease? If they stop transmission and infection. You seem to be in a constant denial...

I suppose 'arguably reasonable assumptions' are all one can have in such a short time when 'testing for safety and efficiency'.

Preventing people from getting the disease snd stopping onward transmission are not the same thing.
Provide a source that preventing transmission was a requirement fir approval.
Data demonstrate vaccine was well tolerated across all populations with over 43,000 participants enrolled; no serious safety concerns observed; the only Grade 3 adverse event greater than 2% in frequency was fatigue at 3.8% and headache at 2.0%

It reduces the likelihood of catching it.

Preventing people from getting Covid through vaccination is stopping transmission and infection. You may want to reconsider what prevention means.

It reduces the likelihood of catching it.
By how much? Everyone seems to be transmitting easily and getting infected easily. Which studies show that it reduces transmission and Infection significantly?

John Campbell had Professor Norman Fenton on his show yesterday explaining how risks and benefits are calculated.
It's amazing how easy it is to fudge numbers......just confuse with the terms relative risk and absolute risk.
