For herd immunity. Even endemic viruses can be eradicated if its spread is sufficiently restricted. Not everyone in a community needs to participate in being vaccinated for the community to achieve that. Perhaps your herd is already there (outside your family).

Besides, it's an easy excuse to take a sick day.

Heh I never got sick from the vaccines, so no luck there. And I'm actually exposed to quite a log of people where I work, so it's really amazing I don't get sick all the time. Yeah definitely gotta make a push to get updated next month though even if it doesn't do anything for me.
