Actually, nobody knows the percent of people who will get infected after they're exposed, with or without the vaccine. The 5% is the portion of vaccinated people predicted to have mild symptoms - if they happen to get infected after being jabbed. Among unvaccinated people who get infected, 20% are predicted to have no symptoms or mild symptoms. So the vaccine gives you a 15% "upgrade" in your chances of being okay if you get infected. Each person has to make a personal decision as to whether that upgrade is worth it.
