Students lining up for polio vaccine shots at Kit Carson Elementary School in San Diego, 1955

 

1955, Students lining up for polio vaccine shots at Kit Carson Elementary School in San Diego.  Thank you to Lynn Thompson.  

On the polio vaccine, see here.

The following pics come from the Texas Medical Center Library, TMC Library. 

The following series is from the Victory Over Polio campaign, which set out to mass-vaccinate Harris County residents in July 1962.  It was sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce [Jaycees] and the Harris County Medical Society.

All of these are from Institutional Collection 004, the Harris County Medical Society, box 1 of the “Victory Over Polio” series.

1962, Two bureaucrats wrapped in stats printed out from the computer with a running tally of numbers scrolled on the blackboard.  How innocent.  These two don't have a clue as to the contents of the vaccine.  These would be your official liars.  And TMC Library fails to identify them.  Talk about CYA.

1962, Ah, yes, bring in your local celebrity athlete [from Houston's Colt 45s] to really sell the poisons to the community.  Not even a number on his jersey to identify him.  Perfect.

1962, This scene here is remarkable in that it takes a public health concern and turns it into a party to normalize illness.  Nice.  

1962, Vaccination stations were set up at area schools.
