Obviously you make exceptions if there are medical reasons. If someone is allergic to shots, or has a compromised immune system so shots could be dangerous, etc. Herd immunity only requires something like 80% be disease resistant to work.

California passed compulsory universal immunization without philosophical exemptions and only permits medical exemptions. The rate of medical exemptions skyrocketed after passage of the law, per The L.A. Times.

I don't have an issue with that. And you would expect medical exemptions to go up when you now have to register it instead of just knowing it between you and your doctor.

Sympathetic in the respect that, like myself, they don't concur with them but believe they possess the right to freedom of conscience in this realm.

All rights are held in balance with the need to coexist with neighbors. I can do what I like in my land, but I can't burn tires in my back yard because toxic fumes will blow across borders. Can't tell fire in a crowded theatre, etc.

Every natural right possesses correlative duties and responsibilities.

Well that separates you from most libertarians. They tend to be bigger on the rights than the responsiblies. Is not protecting your kid from reasonably foreseeable harm not a responsibility? Is this not what vaccines do?

The parent/guardian has a conscientious objection that the medical procedure causes harm. Their conscience informs them that they are protecting their child/ren from reasonable foreseeable harm.

In the case of anti-vaxxers? Yes, they have this belief, but it has been thoroughly investigated and found to be false. Could you let your child play in a croc infested swamp if you refuse evidence that crocs are real and present?

Many individuals have fallacious thinking that could cause their offspring harm. Some people argue circumcision is genital mutilation. Yet circumcision is not considered child abuse in any legal jurisdictions that I am cognizant of.

does fallacious thinking include thinking that law is always correct? circumcision is genital mutilation regardless of what the law says Strapping someone to a board and cutting off the most sensitive part of their penis without consent is a gross violation of human rights.
