The move would make Florida the first U.S. state to withdraw from mandates credited with boosting vaccination rates and preventing infectious disease outbreaks.
Yes, but herd immunity only works above a certain level. Vaccinations are not 100% effective and not every doctor or nurse can have all vaccines due to their own health conditions.
I would expect doctors and their kids to be up to date on their vaccines though, probably following the best current advice rather than the requirements.
I know here in Australia, there are vaccines that are not in the required schedule that many doctors recommend for parents.
Yes, but 95-97% effective is sufficient to usually keep one out of trouble. Extincting diseases is best, of course, but prsonally having a high level of immunity is still better that croaking because of a preventable infection.
95-97% effective is just that. It doesn’t work for 3-5% of those inmunised. Whether it reduces disease severity, hospitalisation and mortality are different questions with different stats.

Yea, but 3-5% sick is still better than close to 100% sick.
Of course. But vaccination isn’t magic either. Even if it seems so.
No, it is science and works as such.
