The science and public-health story of polio vaccines
Margaret J. Goldstein’s nonfiction account connects polio’s spread with the research behind vaccines developed by Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin. The subject spans both scientific work and its wider public-health consequences, tracing how vaccine development contributed to the near eradication of a disease that once caused epidemics. The book places those efforts in a global context, offering young readers an introduction to polio, vaccine research, and the impact of disease prevention around the world.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
Caused by contaminated food, water, or exposure to someone with the virus, polio is a deadly virus that has seen near eradication thanks to the development of the polio vaccine.
