The first known cases of smallpox go back to 1350 BC and the disease has been known for a very long time. Dr. Campbell identified how smallpox is spread. Edward Jenner is credited with developing the smallpox vaccine in 1796.See the Web Links to the left for more information about the history of smallpox.
In 1955, a vaccine was developed that used weakened forms of the virus. This vaccine and the subsequent Sabin vaccine nearly wiped out polio in the world
Jonas salk
.He invented the polio vaccine, or also known as the father of polio vaccine. Very cheap just a drop on a child's tongue. His rival was Jonas Salk.
Theodore Roosevelt- 26th president of the united states... Jonas Edward Salk- helped refine and develope the first polio vaccine in the 1950's
Two were made at almost the same time Saulk is credited with the one we used first. We certainly had issues at first and some contracted polio that would not have otherwise. It was still overall a great success story, savings millions over the years.
English doctor Edward Jenner (1749-1823) used the first recorded vaccination. He was inspired to develop the technique when he noticed that dairymaids in rural Gloucestershire who had previously been sick with cowpox did not catch smallpox, a disease similar to cowpox. Jenner wondered if the dairymaids had developed immunity to smallpox, which then often killed people in much-feared epidemics. Jenner tested his theory on an eight-year-old boy named Phipps. He took some matter from a milkmaid's cowpox vesicles (blisters) and injected it into the boy, who then developed temporary immunity (resistance) to smallpox.
There is no cure for polio, but polio prevention is available through a vaccine. Polio vaccine in the United States is given as an inactivated polio vaccine. Approximately 90 percent or more of polio vaccine recipients develop protective antibodies to all three polio virus types after two doses, and at least 99 percent are immune following three doses. With the continued success of polio vaccination programs, a cure for polio may be possible within the next decade.
a vaccine that stops you getting polio!

The oral polio vaccine was formulated by Dr. Albert Sabin. He developed the vaccine in the 1950s as an alternative to the injectable polio vaccine created by Dr. Jonas Salk.

The first polio vaccine was created in 1952 by Jonas Salk at the University of Pittsburgh. It required years of practice and tweaking to get the vaccine to the point of effectiveness it has today.
The pulse polio vaccine is given to small children.
Edward Jenner(17 May 1749 - 26 January 1823) was an English scientist who studied his natural surroundings in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England. Jenner is widely credited as the pioneer of smallpox vaccine, and is sometimes referred to as the 'Father of Immunology'. Jenner's discovery 'has saved more lives than the work of any other man'. Jonas Salk (October 28, 1914 - June 23, 1995) was an American medical researcher and virologist, best known for his discovery and development of the first safe and effective polio vaccine.
