Very few things we require vaccination against in kids are actually threats to other kids. We've got HepA/B. A isn't dangerous to kids, and B isn't something that kids would spread. DTaP, tetanus is not a communicable disease, pertussis is spread by nonimmune adults. Varicella is generally a benign infection in childhood. The ones that are required that I haven't listed here are generally more reasonable evidence based vaccines. That said, one big issue is that the vaccines are incompletely affective, so those measles outbreaks you hear about on the news? Mostly vaccinated individuals.
