Summary
| Description |
Vaccination against polio began with the Salk vaccine in 1955. In 1952, nearly 3,000 people had died from polio and children in “iron lungs” populated wards in most hospitals. By 1991, however, the disease had been eradicated in the Western hemisphere. The NIH’s Division of Biologics Standards, which regulated production of the vaccine, was transferred to the FDA in 1972 where it became the Bureau of Biologics and the present day Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER).
