By Richard Jason Sookoor, Sabin Student Assistant
Dr. Sabin receiving the award for Outstanding Cincinnatian in 1963.
This is the last week of August and thus marks the finale of our Awards and Honors series. For our final post, we will take a look at how the Cincinnati community has honored Dr. Sabin.

The Albert B. Sabin Digitization Project: Happy Birthday, Dr. Sabin!
Sabin student assistant Richard Jason Sookoor is seen here browsing through one of the many binders the Winkler Center recently received from Mrs. Heloisa Sabin.
The Hauck Center for the Albert B. Sabin Archives recently received several large boxes full of letters, photographs and realia from Mrs. Heloisa Sabin, which adds to the over 400 linear feet that is already in the collection. It was quite serendipitous that the material arrived at the Winkler Center just a couple days before Dr. Sabin’s birthday on August 26. Continue reading

The Albert B. Sabin Digitization Project: A Celebration of the Achievements of Dr. Sabin, Part II
By Richard Jason Sookoor, Sabin Student Assistant
Gold Medal awarded to Dr. Sabin by the Robert Koch Foundation
For the month of August, we will continue our series on the Awards and Honors Dr. Sabin received during his lifetime. This week we take a look at arguably Dr. Sabin most influential achievement: the live, oral polio vaccine. Or rather, we observe the accolades Dr. Sabin received for developing the vaccine. Despite the development of previous polio vaccines, Dr. Sabin’s vaccine was ultimately chosen for worldwide distribution after large scale clinical trials were performed. Not only did this help lead to the eradication of polio in the Western and developing world, but it also helped pave the way for the molding the public perception regarding the importance of vaccination.

The Albert B. Sabin Digitization Project: A Celebration of the Achievements of Dr. Sabin
By Richard Jason Sookoor, Sabin Student Assistant
Brigadier General J. Johnson is seen here presenting the Legion of Merit to Dr. Sabin.
The month of August is notable here at the Winkler Center, particularly for the Hauck Center for the Albert B. Sabin Archives. August 26th happens to be Dr. Sabin’s birthday, which gives us good reason to celebrate. To commemorate his birthday, we’d like to present the awards and honors he’s received in a small blog series throughout the month of August. Dr. Sabin has accumulated well over one hundred different awards and while we’d like to acknowledge all of them, we will focus on his most outstanding achievements. Continue reading
