I have actually been thinking more and more about what TokenKingsFan has been saying and I really do think he is correct. I was having a bitch of a time thinking of bacterial vaccinations, which he has helped majorly. And I then began thinking about cost, ease of use and up keep from a third world perspective.
I have a back ground in industrial waste water treatment research, which I was relying on in this discussion. Things like biosand filtration are major for third world peoples, but they require upkeep and can be too easily tampered with versus having the red cross vaccinate a village.
One way I realized to look at this is from the HIV pandemic, a vaccine would be vastly more effective than sanitation(condoms). Token is correct that sanitation is never 100% and in this scenario vaccination is the clear winner.
As a side note I wonder if these anti vaccine people refuse to get their pets vaccinated too?
