11. It's called herd immunity. If 90% of so of the girls are immunized everyone gets the benefit
not just the boys but even the 10% of girls that don't get the vaccination. Spending is always a matter of trade offs and spending twice as much for not statistical benefit would actually be immoral when the money could be better used elsewhere.
