Daniel is right, the construction of the markup is wrong.
However, what it's actually happening is that the label remains on top of
the checkbox and it doesn't let the click go through.
Once you fix the markup you should add the "for" attribute to the label to
make it work properly. Since you are generating everything from js, just
add:
vmc_label.setAttribute("for", "vmc");
