I did serve, I was vaccinated. Let's use me as an example of why it isn't an individual rights issue (as per the case I linked you). I go out into the third world, I get smallpox (in this hypothetical the vaccination is not mandatory, and smallpox has not been "eradicated"), I bring smallpox home (I wish it was more far fetched then it actually is), where we no longer vaccinate. Now, thankfully we have treatments, and anyone I'm likely to drag down with me...(say you..and your hypothetical kids) will probably receive excellent medical care and ultimately be just fine.
Or, we could mandate vaccinations and avoid the whole bit, maybe even "eradicate" an infectious disease (if we're super lucky).
