Why do vaccination numbers freely shift?

Chief Public Health Officer Dr. David Butler-Jones is reported as saying:

…since 1/4 of Canada’s population has been H1N1 vaccinated, this is why the low rate of serious cases and low number of deaths.

If that’s all it took to stop H1N1, why the building up of vaccination and distribution cost of over 2 billion dollars and climbing? Crying out, 3/4 of the population needed to be vaccinated.

Are scientific theories and studies being tossed out the window then made to fit the current live situation. As back in October Dr. David Butler-Jones was saying vaccinating small pockets of the Canada’s population wouldn’t stop the pandemic.

Can anyone explain – by doing virus math how 1/4 of the Canada’s population being vaccinated is hailed as a success in slowing H1N1 virus when weeks ago it needed 3/4. Like magic the other 3/4 are still fine – but must live in fear as now the song and dance is focusing on H1N1-Third and fourth wave – coming this winter and spring.

Whats not adding up?
