There is no reason to have under 18's (you could probably go as far as under 30) vaccinated.

As Hugh said, good old herd immunity and the fact that no vaccine is 100% effective are good reasons to get as many people vaccinated as possible. The young may not need the protection the vaccine gives but vaccinating the young will protect others.
I would feel much more comfortable if my kids were vaccinated before visiting their Gran/my mum even though she's had her jabs
