I think the idea is that vaccines aren't 100% effective. Say you have a measles vaccine that's theoretically 98% effective (number pulled from my ass, replace with the real one if you care enough to look it up). But even for the unlucky 2% of vaccinated people, they can still only catch measles from someone who has it, meaning they're 50 times more likely to catch it from an unvaccinated person than a vaccinated one.
