No your reasoning does not contain a fallacy, it contains a gamble. A much fuller answer would derive from game theory. For example I found this background article: Vaccination and the theory of games<>, but there are many others. Also in the absence of more information we are entitled to believe you are talking about standard childhood vaccinations and a standard child :-), and then your gamble has moral implications as others have pointed out. However if your school is insisting on non-standard vaccinations owing to a local outbreak of an unusual disease, or if your child has certain medical conditions, then those moral implications reduce, disappear, or even turn around the other way. Yes there is a moral dimension but no there is not a fallacy.
