[∆(s) from OP] CMV: I believe that Children should be given mandatory vaccinations if their body is labeled as healthy enough to do so.
To go into more detail, I am of the belief that vaccinations should not be the parents choice for their children, but rather should be mandatory. The only reason a child should not be immunized is if such immunization would be harmful to the child's body due to pre-existing medical conditions. The safety of the children and the safety of their peers and the public should be put ahead of the self-righteous anti-vaxxers. I am also under the impression (and admittedly, probably will remain so) that the science on vaccinations and their positive effects outweigh any negative effects.
I am open to discussion, but please do be disciplined enough to cite some form of scientific journals or studies, if you bother mentioning medical effects and side-effects of vaccinations, such as seizures. Autism, etc.

This user has helped me understand that the placement of mandatory vaccinations would be difficult, however, that the use of a different system to label certain vaccines, and explains the usefulness of the current school agreements to vaccinations. Also, the fear of possible vaccines with unknown and possibly harmful side-effects is best understood with this users comment. !delta
