This video is by a doctor about the fascinating development of the polio vaccine. The video also explains about ongoing monitoring that occurs with vaccines. If you know anyone who grew up during the 1950s, this will sound familiar. It also brings to light why it is so important to continue to vaccinate for diseases we no longer see in the US, like polio. Just because we don't remember them, this doesn't mean these illnesses can't return. Please ask if you have questions. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EYHsvFbqD/
