It's a shame. Any particular reason why they're mad?
In any case... I can hardly see mandatory vaccination for children as a controversial issue. Even if one accepts that one has the right to do with one's body as they please, irrespective of the impact on public health, doing with someone else's body what you please is another issue entirely. Surely children deserve the best decision to be made for them, regardless of who is making it. It's just that parents are most often the most familiar with their particular child and what is best for them. In this situation, though... refusing to vaccinate your children kind of proves a parent's incapability of making the right decision.
I don't know about mandatory adult vaccinations, though. If there's anything that might justify it, it would definitely be the public health impact, at least imo.
