Girl receiving Salk polio vaccination

A young girl receiving her Salk polio vaccination in her left upper arm. The girl was among local residents who had lined up at this mobile polio vaccination clinic. This photograph was taken in 1963, when the U.S. was shifting from the killed-virus Salk vaccine to the oral attenuated Sabin vaccine. (Source: CDC, 1963.
