“What do you mean”

It isn’t simply a matter of one kid going to school without being vaccinated. It’s about many going unvaccinated and coming into contact (at least here in California), with illegal children who have brought a host of diseases with them from Mexico and points south. Thanks to our turning a blind eye to illegals of all ages, we are seeing diseases that have been wiped out here for 50 years or more. Unfortunately, this is kinda like seat belts. If people were smart and responsible, we would not need seat belt laws. Most people wear seat belts because they know their value. I don’t buckle up each time I get n the car because I fear the law, but because I know they are there to save my life should the need arise. Same for vaccinations. But unlike seat belts, medical care suffers from misinformed ideas about the value of vaccinations, some “religious tenet,” or just plain stupidity which is about the same thing. If Ebola were to break out, and there was a vaccine to protect us, would you not do what’s required to protect yourself ( and everyone else)?
Some are crowing about their “rights.” Well their “rights” get to stop short of being able to harm someone else.
Good medical care is a blessing that we (in spite of Obamacare) have in abundance. To not avail yourself of that benefit is just dumb, and to not give you children care, is criminal.

The illegals are bring diseases for which few Americans have ever been vaccinated. Chikungunya isn't native to North America, but has been brought in with the flood of illegals. Dengue fever has arrived as well. Multiple drug resistant tuberculosis has arrived as well. Those were 3rd world problems that didn't warrant vaccination (if one even exists). Failure to control the border is the problem.
