No. You can't. No more than charging fat people who develop high cholesterol.
I do believe, unfortunately, that vaccination is a choice, however we get to set rules in public school, etc.
No non vaccinated children in any public school or in any community groups (sports, etc). Won't protect the herd in public places, but that is beyond our control. Schools, etc are within our control.
