I personally think you should consider going back to school.
Your statements are not factual. And no, I will not debate what is or isn’t a vaccine...
“vaccine...vac·cine (vak’sēn, vak-sēn’), Although this word is correctly stressed on the first syllable, in U.S. usage it is often stressed on the second syllable.
Originally, the live vaccine (vaccinia, cowpox) virus inoculated in the skin as prophylaxis against smallpox and obtained from the skin of calves inoculated with seed virus. Usage has extended the meaning to include essentially any preparation intended for active immunologic prophylaxis; for example, preparations of killed microbes of virulent strains or living microbes of attenuated (variant or mutant) strains; or microbial, fungal, plant, protozoal, or metazoan derivatives or products. Method of administration varies according to the vaccine, inoculation being the most common, but ingestion is preferred in some instances and nasal spray is used occasionally.
Synonym(s): vaccinum

By any and all criteria available at this time, the Corona vaccine fails.
“include essentially any preparation intended for active immunologic prophylaxis;”
Pretty much covers it. Not surprising that definitions from the early 2000s, and even 2012, would not specifically reference techniques for vaccines that were not in use at the time.
Pretty sure if you pulled out the first edition of a dictionary that had “vaccine”, you’d find that almost none of our vaccines meet that definition.
In general, btw, dictionaries are not actually the text that dictates what words mean, but are the compilation of how words are used. They are in fact, unlike the constitution, living, breathing documents.
Occasionally this upsets people, until they realize they are not still using 16th century English, and decide that maybe allowing for a modern english acceptance is a good thing. Otherwise, they’d have to wonder how to understand Beowulf.
