In the 1950s, Salk developed the first polio vaccine, an injection. In 1962, Sabin developed the oral polio vaccine, taken by mouth, and still used, at present.
The name of man who invented the polio vaccine is Jonas Salk.
Jonas Salk developed an inactivated virus polio vaccine in 1952 that was first used on people in 1955. Albert Sabin developed a live vaccine in 1958. It was the Sabin vaccine that was used to eliminate Polio around the world, but it was then removed from service because of its higher rate of induced disease.
Poliomyelitis as two vaccines: Jonas Salk developed the first in 1952 and used first in 1955. This vaccine used an inactive virus. Albert Sabin developed an attenuated vaccine which was available in 1962. The Salk vaccine was given by injection and the Sabin by mouth.
The first to discover a vaccination for polio was Jonas Salk in 1952. The oral polio vaccine was developed by Albert Sabin in 1957.
I think that polio was virulent before 1955 when the vaccine was developed. Now, I think, since we have developed a vaccine, it isn't as virulent.
Years before Jonas Salk's work, Dr. Albert Sabin developed a polio vaccine using live virus. The Sabin vaccine was used for 18 years before the government recommended using the Salk vaccine, exclusively.
I was working as a Pharmacist at Wayne Apothecaries, a Detroit Professional Pharmacy, on the date that Poliomyelitis Vaccine first because available. That was April 18, 1952. So it was on that date or shortly thereafter that the first shot for Polio was given on the East side of Detroit.
