#3 Indonesia has hundreds of islands whose isolated populations are still in the Stone Age, with little to no contact with the outside world. I can't imagine that the immunization numbers given in this article include such people, as their population numbers aren't even known -- in enough cases it isn't even known if a given island is actually populated.
