"There were stories of folks getting polio in early vaccine trials. My (defective) memory tells me that these were NOT the Salk/Sabin vaccines but something else, possibly the Koprowski."
PolioToday.org has been created to raise awareness of post-polio syndrome (PPS), a condition that affects 40-50 percent of polio survivors.
