I don't think making it optional allows anyone to demonize it into uselessness. I think there are plenty of people who ignore what the zealots have to say and could care less if someone behind a pulpit calls them a whore. But I'm not sure that it should be mandatory, that every girl or boy needs to be vaccinated before they enter high-school. I still feel people should be allowed the choice. Its not like polio or TB. By not getting vaccinated you aren't putting other people in danger.
