Read Flu Vaccines and the Math of Herd Immunity by Patrick Honner (Quanta Magazine)

Simple math shows how widespread vaccination can disrupt the exponential spread of disease and prevent epidemics.

This is a very clear and lucid article with some very basic math that shows the value of vaccines. I highly recommend it to everyone.
