    It should be possible for people to have the mumps, measles and rubella vaccines as separate vaccines, instead of having all 3 at the same time. Uptake would probably go up, for those who are worried about getting all three at the same time. Also it would be useful to have a graph of effectiveness of vaccine versus dangerousness of infection, so that people can prioritize the most effective vaccinations for the most dangerous infections.

      @@CraigButler-lk5yn - The issue with polio is that in poorer countries, people use the oral polio vaccine. This is a live, attenuated vaccine, which reverts to a dangerous virus within a week or two of taking it. It then gets excreted into the water. So this version is circulating in these countries. The vaccine does prevent most cases. There is a chance with OPV or getting paralysis. One in a million, which is why it isn't used in developed countries, and IPV is. So at present, there's still circulating virus around, and if it gets into a unvaccinated population, bad things WILL happen.
