I well remember polio, back in the late 50's and early 60's they didn't know how it was spread. My Dad was especially protective of my sister and I as kids, on the hottest summer day he wouldn't let us drink water from a public water fountain for fear of contracting polio. The first vaccine I got for polio was shot, I remember my Mother taking me to the City Board of Health for the shots and when the oral vaccine came along it was given in the public schools on Sunday. The program was called SOS shich stood for Sabin Oral Sunday for the doctor who created the vaccine.
