Summer of Sabin marks polio vaccine surge in 1962
The Summer of Sabin in 1962 saw mass polio immunizations across cities. In Cuyahoga County, Ohio, 882,609 people received the first Type 1 dose on May 27, the largest one day inoculation in history. Sum totals rose to nearly 1.5 million after Type 1 follow ups, with Houston and Dallas Fort Worth also reporting large counties turnout. The drive relied on volunteers with a suggested 25 cent donation to cover $700,000 vaccine costs, yielding over $900,000 in surplus for follow-up studies on antibody levels in children.
