Besides the numerous awards and accolades that Dr. Sabin received for his work, he traveled around the world and advised others on how to implement a vaccination program. Along the way, Dr. Sabin was greeted by crowds, including many children, who expressed their appreciation for his work. The photos seen here are only a couple of the photos we have in our collection from his visits around the world.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8762\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/2011\/07\/06\/the-sabin-digitization-project-helping-the-children\/sabinandchild\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8762\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8762\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8762   \" style=\"border: 6px solid white;margin: 6px\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Sabinandchild.jpg\" alt=\"The Albert B.

Dr. Sabin was in Italy to receive the Minerva Award, which is \u201cgiven annually to the highest personality in the domain of science, culture, and art.\u201d My favorite part of the photograph is Dr. Sabin\u2019s smile because he looks happy and relaxed, unlike some of his more serious and studious photos that we have in our collection.<\/p>\n<p>Also included in our collection are the many letters Dr. Sabin received from children around the world, expressing their gratitude for the oral polio vaccine. Some of these letters are on display in our permanent exhibition located in the Vontz Center for Molecular Studies here on campus.
