(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.

We might as well abolish the public health care system and just go to a private system where users pay for whatever treatment they need. Many healthcare visits are avoidable. Why should taxpayers have to pay for injuries resulting that occur when individuals make the decision to partake in activities such as football, hockey, skiing, etc?
