Polio and smallpox were important ones, though, perhaps measles, and Rubella to avoid troubles prenatally, I know my mother was very pleased when I got Rubella in my early teens.
The benefits of vaccination cannot be denied but I wonder if giving so many simultaneously is too much of an assault on the body.
And of course, diptheria, whopping cough and tetanus are a must. The list grows and then we get to the cervical cancer vaccine where many had collapses etc as a result and with STDs abounding and still so much licence one wonders when there'll be a massive plague of some new kind of virus and how well our bodies will cope. Children and the frail elderly being most at risk. I'm not sure you wanted all of this but perhaps someone else might, but those who refuse the more serious vaccinations run the risk if the levels of vaccination fall too much that they'll catch a new virus that starts circulating again.
In my mother's day, her family lost two children in one week, so vaccination is still important, and she was a great advocate of vaccinations, having witnessed the dire consequences when vaccines were not availabe and her own mother's death at the age of 36 from pneumonia, no antibiotics then.
But it strikes me there is a fine balance between sense and sensibility with patients being least well informed.
