If there was still a shortage of vaccines I'd totally agree with you, they should go to someone who doesn't already have immunity. But that's not the case, so I do think you have a responsibility.
From an administrative standpoint, it's much easier to confirm that everyone has had the vaccine. And, there's some evidence that the vaccine provides better immunity than the virus itself.
IMO, this is even more true for the flu vaccine! Flu vaccines are less effective on an individual level, so as a society we're more reliant on collective immunity to slow down the spread. Lots of people die from the flu, and a little shot each year can help keep them alive!
