February 6th 2019 Merriam Webster definition of vaccine:

a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease

Current Merriam Webster definition of vaccine:

a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious disease: a: an antigenic preparation of a typically inactivated or attenuated (see ATTENUATED sense 2) pathogenic agent (such as a bacterium or virus) or one of its components or products (such as a protein or toxin) b: a preparation of genetic material (such as a strand of synthesized messenger RNA) that is used by the cells of the body to produce an antigenic substance (such as a fragment of virus spike protein)

The mRNA injection does not lead to immunity, it simply lowers the severity of the disease if infected. So if you get infected you have a 97% chance of having mild symptoms, but you can still get the disease and spread it. That fits the definition of treatment more than vaccine. Even with their revised definition. (Treatment for a disease you may or may not even get)

Treatment:

the action or way of treating a patient or a condition medically or surgically : management and care to prevent, cure, ameliorate, or slow progression of a medical condition
