No, they're paying taxes for services they don't personally use by choice.
Do I get a tax refund for roads I don't drive on? Of course not. I don't drive on them by choice. Furthermore, those roads allow companies to ship items to stores where I buy items. So even though I don't personally use them (by choice) I still benefit from them.
Just like people benefit from Public Education, even if they don't personally have kids or if they don't indeed send their kids to public schools. Many of our doctors learned to read and write thanks to public schools. Got into college thanks to public schools, and therefore got into medical school. Also I imagine that if there were no public education society would not be a very livable place. (Many of the workers got where they are thanks to receiving a public education. Without them, imagine where most of us would be!)
If they have children, and want to send their kids to public schools they absolutely can. Why wouldn't they be able to? All they have to do is get their children vaccinated. They CHOSE not to get vaccinated, just like I CHOSE not to drive on those specific roads.
Not Vaccinating your child can be tantamount to abuse -- except in cases where there's a medical reason they can't receive the vaccine.
