How would those numbers change if 100% of people were vaccinated? Probably not a whole lot. Many people, like myself, rarely get sick, and don't need a flu shot. Many people get flu shots because they regularly get sick, and even after a flu shot they still regularly get sick.
The single best way to fight the flu is to rest at home, if at all possible.
We live in a society that seems to think that getting sick is such a terrible thing. It's not. People sometimes get sick. Sometimes they die. That's part of life.
