at this point unless you vaccinate you'll likely not have much natural immunity, simply because you've never encountered it before and neither have your parents
If we were to stop vaccinating at this point, that final 0.01% of the disease has a nice big fuel source of people without immunity for it to explode back again
Again, see measles
With continued vaccination, the disease won't have anything to grab on to and continue to decline
