Would you rather prevent the disease or treat it?
If the vaccine truly prevents the disease the why are we seeing "outbreaks"? If the outbreaks are among people who are not vaccinated then what is the issue?

Herd immunity. Vaccinations aren't perfect. The more people vaccinated, the less likely someone who did not generate a sufficient immune response will interact with a non immunized individual.
