This sets very dangerous precedent for people who can’t get vaccinated because of health conditions.

One of the main points of everyone who can getting vaccinated is to protect those who are to vulnerable to get vaccinated themselves

No. If the legislator has some degree of good sense, they will write an exception where it is stated that medically documented conditions that prohibit vaccination are exempt of this demand.

My country has this exact same system. An unvaccinated child can not be enrolled in public schools. However, if such state is medically documented stemming from some health condition, that child can be enrolled and their special status is added to their student file, to preclvent possible future bad actors to take on a role they have no credit for.

Now, a personal anecdote: I went to school with a girl that was unvaccinated, due to a specific alergy to a component in vaccines, a preservative. Her parents would annually present a fresh letter from their doctor attesting her condition, when renewing her enrollment in school. Nonetheless, one year, there was a vaccine rally at the school and someone tried to pull the argument nobody could be exempt. To worsen things, everything was done unknowingly to parents. That girl called her parents and they made a scene, showing up with police in tow. It was a veritable shit show.
