It really is not just a personal choice but a public health issue. If parents decide not to vaccinate their child, not only they are putting their child’s health at risk, but they’re also putting other people at risk. I guess this issue can be discussed on http://health-speak.com/ .

Vaccination is a public health issue because maintaining high levels of immunity in a population prevents epidemics and protects the small percentage of susceptible people from the disease.
