I don’t even think they vaccinate for polio anymore in the US, correct?

  It's still on the CDC's recommended immunization schedule https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolescent.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolesc...

  The US gives the IPV vaccine but not the OPV vaccine. It prevents severe disease but may not prevent transmission. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolescent.html#note-polio https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolesc...

  It is bundled into the tetanus vaccination.

    I dont think it is, DTaP/TDaP are what is given for tetanus, they vaccinate against Diptheria/Tetanus/acellular Pertussis. No polio in there.
