Title

Oral Polio Clinics Set to K.O. Disease, 1962

Description

By the 1960s a new type of polio vaccine was developed - the Sabin Oral Vaccine. Drops of vaccine were administered orally, dropped on a sugar cube and dissolved on the tongue. As with the Salk vaccine, the Sabin Oral Vaccine was once again distributed through Cal State LA as part of an ambitious public health plan that sought to vaccinate 9 million Californians against polio.
