1960, Drive-through polio vaccination clinic in Glendale. The event was sponsored by the Soroptimist organization and took place in August 1960. Medical personnel administered 2,250 vaccinations in approximately 2.5 hours. Possibly conducted at the Glendale Federal Building, perhaps a post office parking lot. Photo by Bill Bridges. Thanks to Bruce Dunseth.

the Glendale Federal Building visible in the background of photos from the event. Note that “Glendale Federal Building” in 1960 context typically refers to a downtown federal facility (e.g., post office or related government building), not a modern bank or other structure, like the Glendale Federal Savings Building. This was a temporary mass vaccination setup using the drive-in format for efficiency during the outbreak.
