What was the Impact of Sabin's Oral Polio Vaccine?
Sabin's oral polio vaccine (OPV) became the cornerstone of global polio eradication efforts. Its ability to be administered orally made it easier to distribute, especially in developing countries with limited healthcare infrastructure. The OPV also provided community protection through the phenomena of herd immunity, as vaccinated individuals could spread the weakened virus to others, indirectly immunizing them.
