Object Details
- Description
- In 1954, Jonas Salk’s early success with a killed polio virus vaccine led the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to implement a large-scale trial of his vaccine. James M. Norton, a third-grade student at Thornton Heights School in South Portland, Maine, was one of many children who took part in this trial. This is the card he was given at that time.
