When it comes to vaccinations and religion, ultimately it is not the parents' or family's religious beliefs that should matter, but the beliefs of the patient in question that should. And doctors should not regard children as religious until they are old enough to go to high school.
At my Catholic high school, we've not only advocated vaccines, but we've also hosted vaccination clinics and blood donation drives inside the school's forum itself. I remember lying down on a mat after one such vaccination only to wake up to people asking if I was OK.
