To be honest, there really are no 'required' vaccines. If you don't want your kid vaccinated, you don't have to. My wife got her initial vaccines when she was a baby but never got any others.
I'm pretty sure that Christian Scientists don't get vaccinated. They don't believe in advanced medicine. They are the ones who, when they break a leg, don't get it treated. Instead they pray for God to fix it. Amish people might feel the same.
Forcing vaccinations would be a potential separation of Church and State issue. It would be wise to add this vaccine to the list of vaccines kids get before puberty but I wouldn't want to force anyone to get it. My problem is only with those who would attempt to suppress this vaccination by undermineing the general population.
