Should child vaccinations for contagious diesases be mandatory?

Do parents have a right to refuse vaccination of their children for communicable diseases even when state law requires it?  Presidential hopeful Sen. Rand Paul concluded they should have that right because "parents own the children."  The only people who are owned by others are slaves.  Someone needs to remind Rand that children are not slaves of their parents.

    Parent's wishes can be accommodated so long as it doesn't endanger the lives of their own or other children. All of whom, as a reminder to Rand, have an unalienable right to " ... Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness...." .
