Biographical History
In April 1955 the Department of HEW licensed 6 companies to distribute a newly-developed polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The vaccine's effectiveness had been endorsed by NIH and the Surgeon General. Shortly after the vaccine was distributed, however, Cutter laboratory's allotment was found to be tainted and a cause of 72 new cases of polio. Responding to the crisis, the U.S. Public Health Service directed CDC epidemiologist Alexander Langmuir to investigate. Langmuir created the Polio Surveillance Unit, which worked with state health departments and acquired information on every reported case of polio.
The United States Public Health Service, successor to the U.S. Marine Hospital Service (1798-1902) and the U.S. Public Health and Marine Hospital Service (1902-1912) administered the former marine hospitals in addition to many other hospitals and clinics, the last of which were closed in 1981.
USPHS Division of Nursing originated in the PHS Office of the Surgeon General from the combination of the Division of Nurse Education and Office of Nursing in the Bureau of Medical Services, in 1946; in 1949 this division was abolished and divided into the Division of Nursing Resources in the Bureau of Medical Services and the Division of Public Health Nursing in the Bureau of State Services. In 1960 these two divisions were consolidated into the Division of Nursing in the Bureau of State Services.
