Well, we definitely don't vaccinate all children. US compliance rate for the seven-series is only 70%, and only 82% for the three-series (DTaP, Polio, MMR). So the culture of noncompliance even for fifty-year-old vaccine designs is still there.

That said, medicine is largely a voluntary affair. Nobody is getting up in arms over people choosing to get vaccinated; rather, they're bristling at the idea of being forced to do it, or at the very least suffering severe repercussions or going on a watchlist for choosing not to.
