"Interesting, I'm going to say you're right although I've been told it was for polio up to this very minute. Guess they really were too young to grasp what was going on (and too old to be told differently now "
My polio vaccines involved eating a sugar cube that had the vaccine in it. It was my favorite childhood vaccine!
A quick internet research shows that the oral vaccine caused 3 cases of polio per million. The injected vaccine caused zero. But people with the injected vaccine wouldn't get polio but could still spread it. But the oral vaccine recipients couldn't get or spread polio unless they were one of the unlucky 3 in a million.
