APRIL 1955: CHILDREN 2 START GETTING POLIO SHOTS, CROTON, MARCH OF DIMES, ETC.

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

A popular Everything Croton series has been the March of Dimes postings--and so when we came across this April 14, 1955 article on Polio vaccinations, we just had to post it. Click on the photos below, courtesy of The Croton Historical Society archives.  To see the March of Dimes series, click on the links:

    I remember this so well because my mom was uncertain if the shot was dangerous or not.

    I was part of the initial phase of this program....Dr. Salk. A great physician who profited very little from his great research in terms of $$$$.
