VACUUM/ANALYZE is not about making the index functional. The VACUUM 
marks the space dead tuples occupy in the table and associated indexes 
as available for recycling. The ANALYZE updates tables statistics to 
help the planner make decisions on what query plan to use. On a fresh 
table VACUUM will not be of much value, ANALYZE though will help by 
creating up to date table statistics.
