#1 That's prolly cause you ran off the aid workers that were trying to vaccinate you at the end of a AK-47.

#2 Does the polio vaccine only work when you are a kid?
I can't remember getting a booster or anything for polio for the last 30 years.

#4 I think that it's a 3-shot sequence, Fred. They tend not to use the oral Sabin vaccine any more; that one's dangerous to people with hidden immune deficiencies.

#5 I just had one dose as a child. But now I'm infertile, so maybe the imams and mullahs are right. Oh, I also had a vasectomy after three kids. So, it still could've been the vaccine

but mostly the snip job

The new vaccine, yes, you supposedly only need it once. I was part of the group in the South that got the shots in 1953-54. There were a series of three shots, then an annual booster until about 1960. Then they said they had a better vacccine, and you only needed it once. Got that one, too. When I joined the military, I got another series of shots for polio. When they came out with the oral vaccine, the military decided again that I needed it (several times, in fact). I haven't had polio, so I guess SOMETHING worked. It took the Air Force 10 years of poking me to decide to quit giving me smallpox vaccinations that did nothing, though. At least they got rid of the needle for polio vaccinations.
