No. let me explain...
Immunity works in a couple ways.
Active: your body actively fights an infection or vaccine.
Passive: your body is "given" the immunity through a serum or breast milk.
Vaccines provide protection by giving us an inactive/attenuated, or a dead version of an organism for the body to recognize and develop antibodies and remember.
This means your body will be better equipped to handle an infection that is similar to or just like the inactive infection you receive in a vaccine.
When most people in a community get vaccines, it creates what is known as "herd-immunity". This is when so many people are immune that it protects others.
Thus, vaccines protect the current generation and future generations.
Hopefully this is helpful to you!
