I think Maccalus said it best for my position.
Most vaccines have a long history of data to back the mandatory use of them, but not all. I would hesitate to mandate vaccines only because the government would then be liable for any and all adverse reactions, and if there is even one death related to the vaccine that's all the ammunition the anti-vax group needs to validate their position of choice.
In short, it sounds good from a public health standpoint, but it really isn't great from a personal liberty and political standpoint.
