Assuming you mean childhood vac's and beyond the above mentioned, in particular order:
1. They haven't all been around for the duration of a lifecycle, eg. the chickpox vax and the new herpes vax, hence how it affects, say, reproductive organs not yet developed.
2. Some people have abnormal reactions to disease (again, myself - I contracted chickenpox 3 times, and whooping cough despite being vax'd)
That said I've been selective, and delayed, and currently undecided on some vax - not anti, and have one of the most pro-vax peds around - so can or worms and all - there is my stand.
Additionally some are just ridiculous, there is research being done a 'dirt' vax as children have such a limited exposure to it with all the over cleaning (hand sanitizer etc.) that immune systems fail at exposure to regular life.
