He did say he was not going to stop you from getting vaccines. He's simply going to stop all funding for research, subsidies, and education concerning vaccines until the whole of public health collapses like a house of cards.

Vaccines are the best and sometimes only tool a provider has to prevent diseases of so many kinds. Nearly sixty years of medical science has proven that, but I guess we are going to learn the hard way.
