If you just take all the unnecessary crap out of all vaccines and make vaccine manufacturers liable for the small number of injuries their products cause, I would think it would very easy to get a 95%+ uptake simply by educating people. But that's me. Always with too much faith in my fellow humans and too little faith in The Man.
