    Yes, but 95-97% effective is sufficient to usually keep one out of trouble. Extincting diseases is best, of course, but prsonally having a high level of immunity is still better that croaking because of a preventable infection.

      95-97% effective is just that. It doesn’t work for 3-5% of those inmunised. Whether it reduces disease severity, hospitalisation and mortality are different questions with different stats.
