You are missing my point here. People that have a lot of public "hands on" contact (such as EMT's, Police, Fire, etc.) need to be up to date on their vaccinations. It is just common sense for them to be protected against diseases that could cause them serious harm or death. I would extend that protection to Disney characters that routinely have to be touched, kissed and suffer other assaults.
They have no choice in dealing with guests in very close encounters. Some of those guests will undoubtedly be infected with communicable diseases such as mumps, measles, chickenpox, TB, hepatitis B, influenza, the common cold virus, polio, etc. WDW gets visitors from all over the world.
So, the point is, I don't worry about it and neither should the average guest at WDW. It's very unlikely that you would be infected by "the turnstiles, my tickets handled by germy hands, my ride restraint, or CHARACHTERS". Don't worry. However, the CM's that have to come in direct contact with hundreds of guests and shake their hands, get kissed, hugged and other "stuff", are in danger if they are not protected against the known communicable illnesses.
