The Salk killed-virus injection has since been largely replaced by an oral, live-virus version developed by Albert Sabin
that is easier to take and cheaper to manufacture.
In this delicate and difficult moment, it is important to thank all the assistance, commitment, care and dedication given to the family by the employees of Santa Casa de Juiz de Fora and Albert Sabin
Use of this inactivated poliovirus vaccine and subsequent widespread use of the oral poliovirus, developed by Albert Sabin
, led to the establishment of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988.
In 1988 Albert Sabin
developed an oral polio vaccine which has reduced worldwide polio incidence by 99%.
Leading the scientific crusade against the polio scourge were two researchers, Albert Sabin
and Jonas Salk.
Jonas Salk at the University of Pittsburgh developed an injectable, killed-virus vaccine that was released in 1955, as Albert Sabin
was developing an inactivated live virus oral vaccine.
One of my most persistent memories of my friend Albert Sabin
, who developed an oral vaccine against poliomyelitis (polio), was how, when we met after one of my health-related missions overseas, he would question me about the polio situation in the country I visited.
Did you know that Albert Sabin
developed the oral vaccine for polio?

While we held up Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin
as heroes for providing vaccine protection from "infantile paralysis," their rescue extended only to those who had not been struck down.
