Vaccination does not provide a 100% guarantee that you will not get the virus. What it does is expose your immune system to it so that you can build antibodies. Therefore if ever you are exposed to the virus you can fight it off much more quickly and effectively, sometimes not showing any symptoms at all. If every child is vaccinated, the likelihood of viruses entering the community drops incredibly. This also creates almost a protective "bubble" for those more at risk, for example babies too young to vaccinate or those with immune deficiencies etc. People are quick to say who cares or it is their choice. These people are selfish, it's a choice you make that affects every person in your community. It's not deciding what color shirt to wear in the morning.
