"If the government is allowed to order this, what about the next thing that is "for your own good"?<>/i>

Well, this isn't the FIRST time, for crying out loud. There have been other vaccinations kids have had to get or they couldn't attend school - why so much fuss over this vaccination??? And, what has been the "next thing" that was for our own good??

True - the government only mandated these if you attend the governments schools.
They were also diseases that you could get by just being around others.
AND... since YOU brought it up - check the statistics on how often people got polio from the oral vaccine. Somewhere around the early to mid 60's you chances of getting polio from the government reccomended vaccine were greater than if you didn't get the vaccine. Not so with the injection - but the oral vaccine was deadly.
A friend classmate of mine got polio from the vaccine.

And, what has been the "next thing" that was for our own good??
Well, for starters - this.
