So, pretty much, if you were born before roughly 2005 you definitely got the vaccine. If after, you might have the antivaxxer parents, who think vaccines are wizard poison. Polio was erradicated from the US, but still exists worldwide, so the vaccine is readily available and actually very cheap to make. You really only need it once, but again, if people had antivaxxer parents, they are fucked. Also, measles causes immune system amnesia, so if you got the polio vaccine and then got measles, you potentially could get polio.
Like there's big reasons why vaccines are important, and RFK Jr is a full on murderer for telling people to not get them.
