#polio and #measles #vaccines are exceptionally popular because they actively prevent, they're a one-time thing (not "subscription", e.g. "boosters" every x months), they're affordable and they help stop the spread (actual eradication, not "lower hospitalisation" rates). They rarely lay you in bed for 1-5 days after each shot.
