Childhood memories - for the friends in the #USA. In Germany, I had the luck to get the first improved #polio #vaccine of 1961/62 (the older one was not so effective).

I remember when Europe became polio-free! AltText for more info

As in most countries? Because most countries are generally pretty small.
I'm talking about countries the size of the #USA, #Canada, #Russia, #China, etc.
It works really well on a small scale, which is why you see it in smaller countries like those in #Europe. A reasonable case could probably be made to try universal healthcare at a state level since the scale is probably pretty similar for most American states.
