Welcome to a special live episode of Population Healthy, recorded in front of an enthusiastic audience at the University of Michigan. We mark a historic moment—70 years since the game-changing announcement of the polio vaccine's success on April 12, 1955, right here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at Rackham Auditorium, led by the groundbreaking work of Thomas Francis, Jr., and Jonas Salk.

We invited two renowned experts: Professor Matt Boulton, and Natasha Bagdasarian, Chief Medical Executive for the State of Michigan, to explore the development and impact of the Salk polio vaccine and its ongoing relevance. Join us as we reflect on that pivotal day and the global joy and relief that followed, as polio's devastating effects could finally be curtailed.
