As I said earlier, I'm glad I don't have kids living in a place where vaccinations are a civil rights issue rather than a health care issue. Grab has it exactly right...if there are some *very* specific medical circumstances which significantly raise the risk of side-effects, then you have a decent reason to not have your children (and yourselves) vaccinated. If you do not, for philosophical or religious or any other reason, than you are in exactly the same position as the drunk driving down the wrong side of the road, saying "it's everyone else's responsibility to watch out for me". Sorry, but as a person who worked in health care for nearly thirty years, that's my professional opinion.
