Unconditional Surrender

Year Published: 1956

Complete Record: The first comprehensive film on the Poliomyelitis vaccine. In this interesting (and interestingly titled) short, the invention and the process of making Paulk's polio vaccine is shown. After we see some sad shots of kids with polio, we find out there's a vaccine! We then are shown about how the vaccine is made, and the testing, testing and even more testing the vaccine needs to have before it goes out to market. Because we're testing, we need animals! Monkeys, rats, and even guinea pigs are used. There are some sad shots of monkeys clamped down getting a shot. But don't worry, as the end results we visit the first kid ever to get a shot, and even the president's kid.
