You and DDW are right about this, and I wouldn't deny my child their shots if he/she had medical problems or needed them to go to school.
However, some shots like the chicken pox and flu vaccines are unneccesary to me. I, my parents, my grandparents and my greatgrandparents all had chicken pox and it was NEVER life threatening. The chances of dying from chicken pox are less than 2%. IMHO its "neccesary" shots like these that make my question how much we really need them.
