Vaccines are not 100% effective. In addition, some people are unable to take the vaccine. But if everyone who could get the vaccine did so, the number of cases would drop exponentially, as each active cases would no longer infect more than one other person on average. This is what's meant by herd immunity.
People who could get the vaccine but choose not to have it are putting everyone else at risk, by helping to keep the virus circulating (and mutating).
