Brooke has a friend her age who isn't vaccinated which makes me really nervous for him and young children who have not been inoculated and could potentially become infected with a fatal disease. I don't know if anyone saw "Law and Order: SVU" last night but it addressed this topic.
With the exception of people who opt out for religious reasons - it makes me really sad to think that a parent would not vaccinate their child and put them at risk for diseases that could cost them their life. I agree there could be side effects to the vaccines, but the benefit far out weighs the risk.
It's like a seatbelt - sometimes people die in car accidents because they were wearing their seatbelt, but that's the exception. Seat belts have saved far more lives than they have cost.

There was an episode of House where he yelled at some parents for not vaccinating their baby.
