[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't answer a nanny who asked, just like I don't require them of my nanny.  I've never encountered a class that asked about vaccination status (DC is mostly up to date - we missed a visit due to overseas travel and are working on getting caught up) and frankly, I don't know if I am or not.  I don't understand why people feel so strongly about this.[/quote]

This is why people care.  Anti-vaxxers are actually killing people based on science that was completely debunked and fraudulent.

Vaccines work based on herd immunity, and vaccinating the healthy protects those who are unable to be vaccinated like very small babies or the imunocompromised.  I should not have to be afraid of taking my 6 month old to a class because you (not you specifically, PP)  have decided to bring your unvaccinated 3 year old who may be carrying the measles virus to the same place.  There should be a reasonable expectation of safety in places that are frequented by young children (parks, music classes, story-time, etc) and part of that safety includes reducing the risk of spreading deadly diseases by being intelligent/responsible and vaccinating your children appropriately.
