Change my mind.

it should be, but its not.knowing when certain vaccinations are available, how often they need to be taken, documenting which have been taken and which havent, the time required out of your day to get them, and what not working that day can mean for your near future, and the stresses of everyday life, and sometimes it just slips through.
not vaccinating your kids is a societal issue, not a personal one.

Admittedly I have a bias because I needlessly got whopping cough as a kid and am dealing with a lifetime of complications.
I won’t deny that.
However, when people deliberately choose to not vaccinate their kids, that’s someone choosing to leave their kids exposed to life altering diseases.
Will also admit that not living stateside for 8y in places where workers don’t have to sacrifice greatly for kids has altered perception.
