A Polio Network interview with Paul A. Offit, MD

This Polio Survivor Inspired Love in his Grandfather’s Art.

“In this video, Dr. Paul Offit discusses the history of polio and the polio vaccines — inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) and oral polio vaccine (OPV). He explains why in rare instances OPV reverts to wildtype virus and the mechanism by which unvaccinated individuals can also get paralytic polio.”

As polio survivors we understand. Spinal taps, visits only through a window and no touch between a child an their parent.

“Parents of children today don’t have any idea of the fear that took ovr the country in the summers of the 1940’s and 50’s.” Joe Randig for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
