Why is that a problem for those that do choose to undertake the vaccination?

I mean, don't vaccines immunize one's self from infection? If so, then why does it matter if others choose to remain susceptible to the virus, as it literally can't affect you, or anyone else who chose to get vaccinated?

I'm not an anti/pro "vaccer" or anything, but the situation is probably a bit more complicated than you might think. If human individuals are not vaccinated, what might happen is the virus infects someone but this virus mutates in this non-immunized host -- significantly enough that it is no longer be affected by the previous immunization.

Though somewhat different but along the same lines is the general reduction in doctors prescribing antibiotics, despite the fact they often work well and could serious improve a variety of situations patients might find themselves in, they can create resistant strains of bacteria, potentially rendering that very antibiotic useless.
