Polio is a virus, so I went to WebMD. Children under 5 are very susceptible, but what surprised me is how very RIGHT you were. Yes, you can get it from a cough or sneeze from an infected person - but that is a RARE way to get it.
Most common way is contact with feces, which modern sanitation has essentially eliminated as a pathway. That said, vaccination using DNA (with over a 100 year medical background) is a far different thing, than using mRNA as we are doing today. The vaccinations using DNA are demonstrated to be safe, they are FDA approved versus "Approved for Emergency Use Only".
Consider it this way, jumping through a 3rd story plate glass window is an "Approved for Emergency Use Only" means to escape certain death - say a fire. You don't make everyone leap through 3rd story plate glass windows just for the hell of it.
