  If someone connects to a network which has been infected and they've not applied the appropriate patch (MS17-010) it looks like they're in trouble if they're running Windows and don't have a firewall blocking incoming connections. So first person in a network has to have fallen for the phishing attack, but once it's in the network it can spread via the ETERNALBLUE exploit.

    I confirm that. Once inside network it's a carnage.

  It can copy itself across a network through a vulnerability in SMB, Windows' file-sharing protocol. That's the bug that was disclosed in the NSA leaks. Microsoft released a patch in March, but of course not all computers are patched.

  Clicks are for phishing and trojans, i.e. human vulnerabilities. This is due to an operating system bug, which is a technical vulnerability. If you can get the right network packets to an unpatched machine, you can infect that machine.
