As others mentioned, it isn't necessarily getting the disease that people are afraid of, but rather getting it and passing it on to someone that does not meet the criteria to be vaccinated or has a compromised immune system. It's more about protecting others than protecting themselves.
There is also the fact that vaccines are never 100% effective. For some people, the vaccine may not take and they can still get the disease.
