Yes, for kindergarden I would imagine such kind of approach to be very effective. However, school is obligatory (at least where I come from) and people even get into trouble for taking kinds on vacation outside of school holidays, so denying kids to participate in school may not be an option (and would also not be in the kids' interest).

In my country too, I think cbg0 is referring to homeschooling these kids instead.

  Homeschooling is not allowed in Germany

    Not at all? It is in my country (the Netherlands) in some circumstances, for example if you are of a certain religion and there is no school within x kilometers that satisfies your religious requirements.

> denying kids to participate in school may not be an option (and would also not be in the kids' interest) We're talking a hypothetical that might require legislative changes, which isn't too far-fetched if the problem keeps growing. Also, I'd argue that not vaccinating a kid is also not in the child's interest, and not in the interests of that child's classmates. Education is compulsory and a constitutional right where I live (Romania) and we have problems with low vaccination rates here as well. I'm question at which point do we put the well being of the pack above the individual's rights.
