I just watched this documentary yesterday:

An eye-opening documentary.
Vaccinating a child is not a matter of choice, but compulsory, because unless the parents of an un-vaccinated child can guarantee that their kid will not spread a terrible illness such as polio/whooping cough/ whatever, they should be quarantined. If you watch the documentary, you will understand what I am saying.
Also, the hope is that vaccination will become unnecessary in the future, for example, smallpox vaccines are not being administered anymore, because it has been eradicated completely. That is not the case with many other preventable diseases (there are many areas in the world where they still occur, and so it is necessary to exercise caution).
There might be some legit concern as far as simultaneous vaccination for several diseases goes, though, but that is not sufficient reason to endanger the larger population until the (possible) causal relationship between vaccines and brain damage is firmly established.
