Their doctor? The unvaccinated skew young. 70% are under 50. Personally when I was in the 20 - 50 range I only went to a doctor a couple of times.

Goodie, goodie for you. Nice that you haven't had the need to go in the the doc for birth control pills or an IUD or a pelvic exam every two years in your twenties as half the adult population generally does. And how nice that you haven't had to go in during your mid-40's to have a mammogram. Half the population frequently have babies at some point in their lives, most often in a hospital. And that's just general female stuff. Most people in their 20's go to the doctor from time to time for something-or-other and a doctor is going to what you to be vaccinated.
Yeah, the "I'm young and (seemingly) healthy, so why see a doctor?" comments/attitude is another form of privilege. The people around you (the royal 'you') may not be those things, so get the damn shot(s) for their sake if not yours.
