I mean, if the numbers are right (they match what I'm reading here in Europe), I suppose we're lucky, because it's totally possible that given a slightly more contagious virus or a slightly higher rate of vaccine breakthrough that even at 100% vaccination/infection rate there is no herd immunity.
On the other hand, if immunity decreases over time, we might need something like 90-95% vaccinated or infected during the past 3 months (just as an example).
I'm not sure that we know where along those dimensions we are.

Unfortunately with the current international COVID numbers this is almost inevitable. Hopefully we can delay it in time to create boosters. However Delta hit us so fast there was no chance. Luckily the current vaccine is still pretty effective against Delta, even if it is a bit limited.
