if you believe you live in the best country in the world, and are certain that the decisions that are made by our leaders has only our best interests at heart, you then get this vaccination. if you don't, you step back and reason things out in your mind.
when it came to the Polio vaccine, Elvis Pressley went on the Ed Sullivan show at the time, rolled up his sleeve and was given the shot in front of millions of people with a smile on his face.

For the record, I'll take the vaccine, since my wife is a very high risk candidate. But I've known several people firsthand, who've suffered polio, one was my best friend, a girl cousin, also a neighbor girl who lived four houses down the street from us.
We were mandated to get the polio vaccine in order to attend public schools, the only other vaccines we've recd was the flu vaccine, diptheria,and whooping cough. If the measles, mumps and chickenpox vaccines had been available, I'd have gotten all of them, since I had all three of them.
