Terrace Street also gives this view a link to a far-reaching medical story. The Salk Polio Vaccine marker stands at Salk Hall on that street. Its text recalls the world's first polio vaccine, developed by researchers led by Dr. Jonas Salk. The breakthrough was announced on April 12, 1955. Children later received the vaccine through school inoculations. By 1962, those efforts had nearly wiped out polio in the United States. It's a story to share while finding Terrace Street on the print.
