Re: Polio Vaccinations
Albert Sabin's oral vaccine was the one administered on a sugar cube. It was not licensed until 1960. I definitely did not get that one but remember receiving the injection type of Jonas Salk's. I just went back and read the history again, and the trials were done in 1954 with licensing beginning in April 1955. So unless we participated in the trials, we didn't receive the Salk vaccine until sometime after April 1955. Maybe those dates will help jog someone's memory.
