I believe in 100% bodily autonomy when there’s no possible material affect on anyone else (i.e. pregnancy).

When it can affect others in a quantifiable, physical way, then it’s a special case and deserves special consideration. With this in mind, I think mandating vaccines for schools, travel, and other circumstances is appropriate.
