I think the analogy to the HPV vaccine is clear. Given our family medical history of autoimmune disorders we won't be getting the kids any vaccines we're not convinced is necessary.

Fortunately for our daughters we're not going to be inflicting the "honour" meme on them, so that's not an issue for us directly. Safety, that we'll worry about.
