In every state there is an age of majority, where kids meet adulthood and can make decisions for themselves. Tons of things that under age cannot do until they reach this age of majority.
But choosing to get vaccinated or not is up to the children now. This is in the UK.

Parents and doctors slam government over decision to vaccinate all over-12s but to give CHILDREN - not parents - the final say on whether they get Covid jab or not
Recommendation is for healthy children aged 12 to 15 across UK to be vaccinated against Covid this winter
If accepted by ministers, will mean 3million more youngsters will be offered jab from as early as next week
Will only be given single dose of Pfizer for now with a decision on a second dose not due until the next year
Parents, experts and teaching unions today warned of tension in schools after the UK signed off on plans to offer Covid jabs to healthy 12 to 15-year-olds — which will see children get the final say on whether they are vaccinated.
Around 3million under-16s are due to start getting their jabs from next week after Chris Whitty endorsed the move today, claiming it would help prevent outbreaks in classrooms and further disruptions to education this winter.
Doses will be largely administered through the existing school vaccination programme and parental consent will be sought. But children will be able to overrule their parents' decision in the case of a conflict, which has caused fury.
Angry parents fumed against the move to leave the decision with young children who 'can't even decide what they want for tea, never mind' a vaccine, which carry small risks of side effects such as heart inflammation.
Professor Simon Clarke, a microbiologist at the University of Reading who is in favour of jabbing children, warned that giving youngsters the final say could lead to children being bullied by their peers into taking the jab.
