Jonas Salks injectable version has died. Dr. Hilary Koprowski was 96. Dr. Koprowski developed an oral vaccine using the live polio virus that was first used on humans in 1950. Dr. Koprowskis son Christopher said his fathers vaccine was the first to show clinical success. Salk famously developed an injectable version later, while Dr. Albert Sabin was the first to have an oral vaccine licensed in the U.S. But Christopher Koprowski said his father was happy with the scientific recognition he received without the celebrity of his better-known fellow researchers.
