To me it seems morally reprehensible to not get the vaccine, and be a person who endangers the health of others, which is what happens when people don't get vaccinated, and become asymptomatic carriers. Unless one has a valid excuse - for example too frail to deal with any side effects of the shot, or allergic, pregnant, etc., I don't see any excuse for not getting vaccinated. Looking at the practical side, one's actions may be limited in the future without having a vaccination card - travel to certain countries may be curtailed, ability to participate in certain group activities. In the future, it may be required for children to attend school, similiar to other vaccines like polio.
