Polio rose to epidemic proportions in the United States with more than 21,000 cases reported in 1952 [3]. With the development of effective vaccines against the virus during the 1950s the incidence of poliomyelitis went in decline and the last case of wild-type virus reported in the United States was in 1979.
The fear was well grounded. By the 1950s, polio had become one of the most serious communicable diseases among children in the United States. In 1952 alone, nearly 60,000 children were infected with the virus; thousands were paralyzed, and more than 3,000 died. Hospitals set up special units with iron lung machines to keep polio victims alive.
