People. There is no "law".
Only required if you attend school. Which I hope your children would.

What is usually given - by AAP guidelines: (no actual law, just what's recommended)
2, 4, 6 mos old: DPT (diptheria, tetanus, pertussis), Hepatitis B, IPV (injected polio) - they can combined as Pediarix, or individually, Prevnar (pneumoccal) and HiB (h. influenza B)
9 mos - Prevnar
1 year old: MMR (measles mumps rubella) and Varivax (chickenpox) - you can always give this later on before the child is 4 years old
Somewhere between 15-18 mos - HiB booster and DPT booster

In Asia it is compulsory to vaccinate babies with BCG (tuberculosis), polio, measles, DPT (tetanus) and MPR (mumps). In Sweden they ask the parents permission if they want to vaccinate the baby with any of those.

You're pediatrician should have a list for you. There are a bunch I can't even pronouce, never mind spell. Call your baby's pediatrician and inquire.

Well that depends on where you live.
However there are always exemptions, which may apply to you such as medical, religious or conscious
