Forced vaccinations

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

let people know that - going forward - parents would be criminally responsible

It's an interesting concept.
First, you would need to guide a law through the legislature to make the non-immunized accountable, although it's barely possible to submit any law concerning vaccines that are not dropped by state legislators within a few days.

Then, hypothetically speaking, if it were to get through the Hawaii Legislature, doctors or schools would present anti-vaxxer parents with scientific studies to explain to them why the law would hold them responsible for spreading an epidemic. A law based on logic and reason that will affect people who oppose vaccinations based on testimony such as:

"Not in one single generation in the history of mankind has it been appropriate or truly for the greater good for the government to control our bodies. Forced compliance is the foodstuffs of fascists and nazis, and the fuel of for-profit corporations. Moreover, these measures are clearly for the benefit of the for-profit, patented pharmaceutical industry. Imposing patented products on the public would create a government sponsored industry monopoly."

or asking the legislature to:
"Please find an alternative method of protecting civilians from epidemics, etc"

I don't deny the soundness of your logic as a way to provide a solution to the topic, but think it might create an epidemic of it's own, anti-vaxxer mass hysteria!
