The vaccine doesn't work for 3% of people, so that's down to 4% we are ok with.

The vaccine doesn't work for 3% of people, so that's down to 4% we are ok with. Then there is a set of people who can't get the vaccine for various reasons. The most obvious of these are very young infants, but it also includes elderly people who didn't get it when they were young as well as suffers of various diseases. Then there are people with depleted immune systems (chemo patients etc) who are vulnerable to diseases even if they are immunised. It seems likely this set of people adds up to between 1% and 2%. That drops it to 2-3%.
