Jonas Salk is credited with creating the polio vaccine. His creation basically eliminated polio in countries where it is used. He spent the last years of his life researching a vaccine for AIDS.
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.
The polio vaccine is called the Salk vaccine after it was invented by Dr Jonas Salk.
The name of man who invented the polio vaccine is Jonas Salk.
To protect against polio.
Years before Jonas Salk's work, Dr. Albert Sabin developed a polio vaccine using live virus. The Sabin vaccine was used for 18 years before the government recommended using the Salk vaccine, exclusively.
