I honestly don't understand what parent is complaining about because this is nothing new in virtually any country.

I have to be vaccinated to go to school, to dorm, to enter or exit countries, to travel for business, to travel for leisure, to work in multiple fields (even technology if you have to enter medical facilities), none of this is new.

It might be a bit weird for a desk job, but have you seen most office buildings? When I did a short stint at Oracle the queues for the lift every day, multiple times a day, were dozens to hundreds of people, every single one was packed during peak hours like morning or lunchtime, and I couldn't go a few months without getting sick. Windows that didn't open, recirculated air.

I've travelled all around Asia and Europe, nobody ever before asked me about any vaccine (yet I had optional ones)

and no, for instance in Czechia your kid DOES NOT have to be vaccinated to attend the school, they can require vaccination in optional preschool, but it can't be required for mandatory education, because the law clearly states education is above mandatory vaccination
