Eisenhower History
April 12, 1955
A vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk is declared "safe, effective and potent" when introduced to combat the spread of poliomyelitis (polio). Eisenhower implemented a plan to produce and distribute the vaccine to children throughout the country. The number of polio cases declined from 35,000 in 1953 to just 5,600 in 1957, and then, even lower, to 161 in 1961. Today, polio has been eradicated from most of the world.
