In 1967, I was visiting my mother who was in Cardiff Royal Infirmary for surgery.

The very young woman in the bed next to my mother was in an iron lung. She must have been one of last pre-vaccination victims of polio in the UK.

Although I was only 11, that image is still vivid in my 68-year old memory and I've always been first in line for vaccination and grateful for the scientists and medics who developed them...then and now.

Anti-vaxers are dangerous fools
