    polio outbeaks were around for years before doctor's realized what it was, but around 1889 doctor's atarted working on a cure for it instead of trying to maintain it like they did in the beginig.
    Then, Jonas E. Salk - a specialist in virus research, developed a vaccine to combat paralytic polio in 1953. Congress awarded him the medal for Distingushed Civilian Achievement for his work.
