COVID vaccine?

I am on dialysis and I got both Phizer vaccination while I was on dialysis. If the dializer is supposed to clean your blood, what keeps from cleaning the vaccine from your blood as soon as its injected.

Those protective molecules are bigger particles and cannot come out with dialysis.
The vaccine instructs the immune system and should recognize the viral particles automatically
The vaccine will not clear out with dialysis as it goes to the cellular level and transcribes antibodies.
