Best Answer

Jonas Salk developed an inactivated virus polio vaccine in 1952 that was first used on people in 1955. Albert Sabin developed a live vaccine in 1958. It was the Sabin vaccine that was used to eliminate Polio around the world, but it was then removed from service because of its higher rate of induced disease.
