Yup, absolutely!!! I agree with what everyone here is saying about the importance of vaccines and hate the idea of the "free rider" issue - but you can absolutely do it on your schedule. Just stick to your guns, be well informed, polite but insistent. I hate doing that kind of stuff - but then the alternative is just not ok with me.
Like I said, we stretched ours out and still haven't done MMR but will in the next year. One at a time!
