What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? is the debut studio album by London-born group The Vaccines. The album was released on 14 March 2011,[14] by Columbia Records. Two singles preceded the release of the album which attained UK chart success including UK debut "Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)" and "Post Break-Up Sex". The album's release is highly anticipated following the band's placement on the BBC Sound of 2011 poll, in which the group placed third.[15]

The release was pushed forward a week from the 21st March to the 14th March, in a move that saw the album chart Top 5 in the UK.

The first single from the album, "Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)" was released in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2010 alongside the AA-side "Blow It Up". The single was an unexpected airplay hit in the UK, Australia, Belgium, Denmark amongst others, and hit the lower regions of the UK chart, it was also used by E4 drama Skins on the episode "Franky".

The second single from the album, "Post Break-Up Sex" was released in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2011 following its placement on BBC Radio 1's A Playlist. The single debuted at number 32 on the UK chart.

The third single from the album, "If You Wanna" is due for release in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2011,[2] a week post the release of the album. Having first been released as the band's demo, the single has been re-recorded to accommodate the single release. The single gained chart success peaking at number 53.
