Two workers stand beside a cart loaded with boxes containing poliovirus vaccine, 1963. In the early 1950's, there were more than 20, 000 cases of polio each year. After polio vaccination began in 1955, cases dropped significantly. By 1960, the number of cases dropped to about 3, 000, and by 1979 there were only about 10. Image courtesy CDC/Mr. Stafford Smith.
