Polio on Trial

Racing to develop potential vaccines... labs preparing for widespread testing... families desperate for an answer to a public health crisis -- this was the story in 1954, when a new vaccine to prevent polio persuaded parents to join a nationwide trial. Host Ed Ayers learns from a polio survivor, an epidemiologist, and a scholar about the successes and challenges of distributing a new vaccine.
