It is ALWAYS the parents' option to vaccinate their children or not. Michigan (and most states) provide an exemption form. There is a website group "Michigan Opposing Mandatory Vaccines". You can get some more information from their website. Here is a link to their vaccination waiver information:

As far as the chicken pox vaccine (Varivax - Merck) is concerned...
I remember when I was a child and the vaccine for chicken pox did not exist. Chicken Pox was not a big deal back then. It was considered a good thing if we got it at a young age. This would provide lifelong, natural immunity. All of a sudden, there is this huge fear of chicken pox. And now many schools are "requiring" the chicken pox vaccine.
I, personally, would never inject that stuff into my child. The vaccine's risks outweigh the risks of complications caused by chicken pox. And, on top of that, the vaccine is not 100% effective. It may also give you a higher chance to get shingles as an adult, which is worse than having chicken pox as a child.
My advice to any parent who is considering vaccinates is to research. Research the benifits/risks of both the vaccines and the diseases. Compare both side by side. Then make an INFORMED CHOICE.

Michigan allows for 3 waivers; Religious, Medical and Philisophical. If you have objections to vaccinating on any of those grounds, you can refuse.
I have 3 children in Michigan, not one of them has ever been vaccinated. I fill out the waiver forms every time I sign them up for school or daycare and have never had any problems. The proper form is always in my local school's registration office, I've gotten the wrong one from the Health Department before...
Don't let anyone fool you, there is no law demanding that you do something as risky as vaccinate a child! Though they'd like to make you think there is...

i believe if you want your kids to be able to go to school it is a required immunization.
