Looking for People to Share Their Stories about Polio
...and vaccines used during the big epidemic.
This year's All Iowa Reads
selection is Splendid Solution: Jonas Salk and the
Conquest of Polio by Jeffrey Kluger.
As part of the
2007 program, the Iowa Center for the Book is collecting
stories from Iowans about what they remember of the impact of
polio and the development of the polio vaccine. Read
what Iowans remember. Add your own story. Look at some wonderful photographs from the early 1950s from the Iowa Historical Society and Iowa Methodist Medical Center. Submit your own photos if you have them.
