Jonas Salk
Dr. Jonas Salk
In the 1950s, Salk developed the first polio vaccine, an injection. In 1962, Sabin developed the oral polio vaccine, taken by mouth, and still used, at present.
Jonas Salk worked on the polio vaccine for about eight years, from 1947 to 1955. His research began after he joined the University of Pittsburgh, and he focused on developing an effective and safe vaccine to combat the polio epidemic. Salk's efforts culminated in the successful testing and eventual widespread use of the inactivated polio vaccine in 1955.

The oral polio vaccine was developed by Dr. Albert Sabin in the early 1960s, with its widespread use beginning in 1962. Unlike the earlier injected vaccine created by Dr. Jonas Salk, Sabin's oral vaccine used live attenuated virus and was easier to administer, contributing significantly to polio eradication efforts worldwide.
Jonas Salk came up with the first injectable polio vaccine, followed by Albert Sabin who came up with the first oral polio vaccine.
