Radio listeners all over the country were urged to send their dimes directly to the White House. The response was so effective the organizations name was changed to the March of Dimes.
“Fear hung like heat in the summer. No one knew how you got it. Did you breathe it in, swallow it in contaminated milk, drink it down at a public fountain, or get it from flies on our picnic lunch?” Kathryn Black from book In the Shadow of Polio: A Personal and Social History.

Principles and Effects of Vaccination • A vaccine is a suspension of organisms or parts of organisms that is used to induce immunity • Provides herd immunity
Herd immunity rests on the principle of safety in numbers; if more people are immune to a certain virus, either through vaccination or through already having the disease, then more people in the population, even if they themselves aren't immune, are protected from the disease.
