"The Polio Crusade"

The American Experience on PBS tonight was a program about the polio epidemic around 1950 and the development of the Salk and Sabin vaccines to combat the disease. I remember how scary this disease was, how devastating the effects were, and with what relief, the vaccines were welcomed. You can listen to the program online or see if you can find it in a rerun.

Those of you much younger than I don’t remember, and need to see this program. Just to see what great things can be accomplished with immunizations.
