Most states allow you to sign a "religious exemption" from vaccinating. We did it with our daycare because our kids would have been excluded from care had we not followed the State sanctioned vaccine schedule. My kids get vaccinated but they aren't getting all vaccines and not on the recommended schedule.
It is absolutely ridiculous. Don't feel bad for your decision. Continue to gather information from all sources and all sides and make as informed a decision as is possible for you.
Best of luck!

Don't fall for the fear-mongering. The risks are low and much better than exposing your child to the sorts of illnesses that caused many children to die decades ago. In great seriousness, please accept the counsel of people of BELIEVE in science and reason, and not those prone to magical thinking, conspiracies and science denial.
There is a reason we no longer have polio epidemics, mass measles outbreaks, rubella pandemics, etc. Science won.
Afterwards, feed your child healthful food and make sure they play a lot outside too. I'd guess the same people that deny vaccines out of conspiracy fears are in large part the same people pumping their kids with Happy Meals and Lunchables and letting them play video games all day.
