In 1947, the polio vaccine was not yet available for public use; the first effective polio vaccine, developed by Jonas Salk, was introduced in 1955. However, there were experimental vaccines being tested before then. There were concerns about vaccine contamination in later years, notably in the 1950s, when some batches of the Salk vaccine were found to be contaminated with live poliovirus, leading to cases of vaccine-derived poliovirus infections.
