Malaria, polio, and a few others, I think.

Malaria has no effective vaccine. Polio only exists in 3rd world countries at the moment, so it's doubtful it's sold in the first world to subsidize the 3rd world.

If a company is claiming to do this, they are very likely to be scammers.

I have my facts wrong, then. I don't know which vaccines they are working on, but I imagine they are ones that are commonly given out.

The company has not, to my knowledge, claimed to have a vaccine for malaria. Malaria just sounded to me like the kind of disease they'd try to fight.
