    The document discusses two types of polio vaccines: the Salk vaccine and the oral vaccine. The Salk vaccine uses an inactivated poliovirus and was developed in 1952, being 60-70% effective against one type of poliovirus and 90% effective against two other types. An enhanced version became the vaccine of choice in the US in 1987. The oral vaccine uses an attenuated live virus and while effective, there is a concern it could potentially revert to a form that causes paralysis.
