Different type of disease for starters. No animal reservoirs either and the vaccine is effective with a single dose (and doesn’t require boosters). Perhaps we can focus on more health generally? Diet and exercise to curb the massive obesity in the western world.

Honestly I think it’s easier to cure Covid than western obesity.

It's probably easier to cure every type of Cancer than it is to cure obesity.

The number and type of recommended polio vaccines depends, but the WHO recommends at least four doses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine#Schedule

Interesting. The CDC[0] in the US (IPOV insert [1]) states a single doze of 0.5ml for children and adults.

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination_schedule#United_St... it says 4 doses.

Also in your second link, in page 8 says

> All children should receive four doses of IPV at ages 2, 4, 6 to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years.
