But since vaccination is considered a medical procedure, you cannot give a vaccine without informed consent. In this case it's the parent's consent because the child is incapable of giving informed consent. There is plenty of case law stating that medical practitioners cannot perform medical procedures if the patient has withdrawn consent despite the best of intentions and practices. It's ultimately not up to the healthcare provider except in very specific cases, and vaccination is not one of those.
