The choice not to take drugs for your own illnesses is really not equivalent to choosing to skip vaccinations. You only risk your own health when you decline drugs, but the community is put at risk when you turn down immunizations. Further, some of the immunizations for things you may consider minor (chicken pox or rubella for instance) can have a devastating impact when communicated to those with weaker health, or who, in the case of rubella, are not yet born.
