There’s already evidence of reinfection with COVID, so herd immunity for the disease is unlikely.

Don't vaccines require that mechanism in order to be effective?
Vaccines can either reduce the severity of disease or grant immunity for a period roughly comparable to the window of reinfection. Depending on the duration of immunity, a successful vaccine may require multiple doses per year.
