Vaccination mediatic blitz

Vaccination doesn't require mandates.

Just ensure that everybody is well-educated, and say "okay you have the right to not vaccinate your child, but not doing so prevents your child from entering public education". Private schools will also have the right to reject non-vaccinated kids.

If said parents still choose to not vaccinate and home school, once the child is old enough to make their own decisions, they should be well within the right to elect to have vaccinations. There's no age limit on vaccinations, as far as I'm aware?

EDIT: Personally, when it comes to my children. They will have all the recommended vaccinations, but I would like the say over the speed and frequency at which they occur. Having several in a short period of time doesn't sit right with me, and I would prefer to spread them out a little.

The problem with that though is that banning them from schools isn't enough, you would need to ban them from shops,  doctors surgery's, churches, any place that people congregate. Which is impossible, that a why herd immunity is so important. I have a 8 month old son, he is too young to have the MMR vaccine, so he is fully reliant on herd immunity. Its a public health issue, people aren't just affecting themselves when they choice not to vaccinate, they threaten us all. Anti-vaxxers have this mentality that if you extended to driving would entitle them to drive however they like because it would only affect them. We have compulsory road laws and training BECAUSE peoples actions can affect everyone, and it's the same with vaccinations. It should be compulsory, pure and simple.
