Don't think your argument holds up. If you choose not to be vaccinated then you accept the risk of getting the disease. You are still not a problem to those who did choose to be vaccinated.
If, OTOH, the powers that be are aiming for the complete erradication of a disease it's a different story - it pretty much worked for, for example, chickenpox. But it's not going to work for Tetanus so why make it compulsory? The only argument in favour is similar the motor-cyclist/crash-hat argument.
