Sabin vaccine:
The oral polio vaccine. The first vaccine against poliomyelitis was
introduced by Dr. Jonas Salk in 1955, was given by injection and
required 4 "shots." The oral form of the vaccine, subsequently
developed by Dr. Albert Sabin, is in standard use today since it is
easier to administer and is more effective than the Salk vaccine. The
Salk vaccine is now exclusively of historic interest. Although Albert
Sabin's vaccine prevailed, Salk's name is better known, in part because
of the attendant publicity he received and the Salk Institute in
LaJolla, California (founded by the National Foundation/ March of
Dimes).
