Since 1980, we've developed vaccines for:
- Hepatitis B,
- Chicken Pox,
- HPV,
- Rotavirus,
- Hepatitis A,
- and Pneumococcal.
There's also been a lot of improvements in existing vaccines, regular new Influenza strain vaccines, etc...
A lot of those simply got quietly introduced into the routine vaccination schedule for children and the diseases quietly vanished without much fanfare in those countries.
Polio is almost eliminated world-wide now, but that's taken decades.
