or remote parts of the world.
-
An oral polio vaccine was developed
-
by a man named Sabin.
-
What he did was took the polio virus into the laboratory
-
and tried to make an attenuated form of it,
-
that is, "Can I get the virus to mutate in ways
-
that it doesn't change its physical structure much
-
so it still looks like active polio
-
but it changes its disease causing properties,
-
so it changes disease causing properties
-
without making it non-immunogenic?"
-
He produced an oral polio vaccine from an attenuated virus.
