We like vaccines so much that our kids get the optional ones like Gardasil, despite well-reasoned (cough) arguments against them like this - http://healthimpactnews.com/2015/gardasil-the-decision-we-will-always-regret/

Tara Hills wrote in a blog post about how they gave their first three children some vaccinations then stopped: “We stopped because we were scared and didn’t know who to trust. Was the medical community just paid off puppets of a Big Pharma-Government-Media conspiracy? Were these vaccines even necessary in this day and age? Were we unwittingly doing greater harm than help to our beloved children? So much smoke must mean a fire so we defaulted to the ‘do nothing and hope nothing bad happens’ position

I think that failing to get your children vaccinated is borderline (if not just clear-cut) negligence on behalf of the parents. It's not only endangering your own kids, it's hurting the population as a whole.

2. Are your children vaccinated? YES
3. If they are not vaccinated, why? N/A
4. If they are vaccinated, are they on the traditional CDC schedule or did you /are you working with your pediatrician and using an alternate dosing schedule. CDC, I think.
5. Do you believe there is a pharma/government vaccination conspiracy? NO
6. Do you agree with mandatory vaccination requirements to attend public/private schools and college? YES
7. Do you agree with vaccination exemptions for non-religious or health related issues? NO
8. Do you believe vaccinations cause autism and other neurological disorders? NO.
9. What was/is your biggest vaccination concern (whether you're vaccinated or not). NONE
10. What is your highest level of education? BACHELOR'S
 
Thanks for you input, everyone.

This really helped me out. I think a lot of vaccination campaigns/vaccination literature are simply too hard to understand. The CDC website and immunize.org can be confusing for people searching for information, which is why the anti-vax social media campaigns work so well. A photoshopped picture of a baby/toddler suffering the side effects of an MMR vaccine sticks in your mind (even if the pic is actually a stock photo of a child with cancer undergoing chemo) so much better than the boring literature pediatricians hand out.

A large percentage of parents/caregivers don't understand human anatomy & physiology - even on the simplest level- and they really don't understand immunity.
 
Yeah the last paragraph is really it. Plus a lot of people dont ever make it to the CDC website when Fox News is on tv all day warning about potential dangers of the mainstream liberal agenda
