Remembering Sabin Sunday

Today, April 24th, we celebrate the 59th anniversary of the first administration of Dr. Albert Sabin's live polio virus vaccine to nearly 20,000 children on what is now commonly known as "Sabin Sunday."  It's a big day in the history of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and a big day in the history of the city of Cincinnati. 


Thanks to Dr. Sabin, who spent over 30 years on the faculty of Cincinnati Children's, polio is virtually non-existent in the United States and in much of the world today.
