Date of Vaccine
editThe article says that a vaccine was created in the 1930s. However, it appears that the virus was first isolated in 1934 (see Vaccines: A Biography, p317) and the vaccine was not licensed until 1954 (according to WHO). If I had more confidence and Wikipedia knowledge, I'd update the page myself, but right now I'm being cautious.
Extra Doses
edit"Extra doses are not typically needed in areas where the disease is common." Is this because in areas where the disease is common more people contract it and a general immunity is built up? It seems counter-intuitive that disease prevalence decreases the need to protect against said disease. Citation or more info needed perhaps.--Lucas559 (talk) 19:35, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yes because you get natural boosters I imagine. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:21, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
