Vaccinations work by strengthening one's immune system. Professional doctors, with a certificate, insert some of the virus or bacteria so your immune system can get immune to fight it off. Children, in my opinion, must get a vaccination so they don't die really young. Elders and adults, that is up to them.

Do children need a Swine Flu booster?
The swine flu vaccine was produced, for children's doses, to be given in a specifically timed sequence of two vaccinations to achieve full immunity. This is because children under 10 have immature immune systems with a less vigorous response to the vaccine than adults get in a single dose. The first vaccination for children (aged 6 months through 9 years) is administered and then in a month after that, a second is given. After another 3 weeks they should have developed enough of the right antibodies to be protected for life for that specific virus, and without the need for any further vaccinations against it.More:According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease:For 3 -9 yrs old's a single dose only provides protection for 55% of childrenA second dose increases to 94%.See the link in the related links below for more about vaccinations (from MSNBC).

Why is vaccination against many childhood illnesses a legal requirement for entry into public schools?
Vaccinations are necessary for students to attend public school because if enough kids are unvaccinated, then all of these preventable (and deadly) diseases can spread among the children and the adults at home. This is a public health issue and having children vaccinated for school is the responsible thing to do (both for the child and socially).
