The reason you still want vaccines for non-life threatening diseases is that they are still life threatening to certain populations. The flu may be just an inconvenience to you but it could be fatal if you spread it to a newborn or an elderly person.

In my country the vaccine promoters recommend that people in vulnerable populations, the elderly, asthme sufferers, people with cardio problems, those with a compromised immune system etc. should have the flu vaccine. It's almost insane not to have it, or so they would have us believe.
Funny how those that specialise in cardio-vascular/cardio-respiratory disease and other vulnerable population group specialities, recommend that these populations should be kept away from the flu vaccine as they are 3x more likely to be hospitalised by the vaccine than someone who is not in one of these vulnerable population groups.
