While cases have been documented since ancient times, during the first half of the 20th century, polio outbreaks caused international fear and devastation. The disease can lead to paralysis, muscle weakness, and death. The most severe form of polio, known as paralytic polio, resulted in permanent paralysis, usually affecting the legs. • With no cure, the race to develop a vaccine was initiated by a desperate need to save lives. Enter Dr. Jonas Salk, a visionary scientist who through tireless research and testing, along with his team, developed the first effective polio vaccine in 1955. This marked the beginning of the end for the polio epidemic. • Thanks to mass vaccination campaigns, polio has been eradicated in most parts of the world, a testament to the power of science and collaboration.
