Because whenever there is a group of people together in a small space like classrooms, there is an increased chance of spreading Infectious Diseases. When more people are immunized against a disease, there is an increase in 'herd immunity'. That is, it's less likely that the disease will appear in that group, even if a few of them are not immunized for whatever reason. Keep in mind that there are people who cannot not get vaccines for medical reasons like allergy. So, if a family chose not to vaccinate their kids for non medical reasons, they not only increase their own risk of getting the disease, they also increase the risks of other children who cannot get the vaccine due to medical reasons.

Why do we develop disease even after getting vaccines?

Vaccines have a minuscule amount of the disease, so your immune system can easily destroy it and then retain in the immune systems memory the best way to destroy it. That is how vaccines work. However if you have an immune deficiency disorder, or a weak immune system, the disease inside the vaccine has a tiny chance of surviving and reproducing causing the disease to infect you.
