(Exceptions obviously to those who can't get vaccinations) and once a child turns 18, have the responsibility to get vaccinated shift back to them.

I would say yes except for the fact that a large portion of the people who use healthcare services do so because they inflicted damage on themselves, from smoking, obesity, drinking and drugs. If someone smoked three packs a day for thirty years and is dependent on BiPAP and has multiple hospitalizations for acute exasperation of COPD, should we charge them for the costs.
