	PHIL 13179: In this 2008 photograph depicted former Centers for Disease Control Director, David J. Sencer, M.D., M.P.H., at a podium, as he was speaking during a CDC Smallpox Reunion, held in Atlanta, Georgia. It was during Dr. Sencer’s watch that bold efforts to fight smallpox on a global scale, lead to its official Worldwide eradication in 1980. Dr. Sencer joined CDC in 1960 and was director of CDC during 1966--1977. His other positions included New York City Health Commissioner during 1982--1986. Dr. Sencer passed away on May 2nd, 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia.
	PHIL 13186: This historic 1956 image depicted Leo Kartman, ScD, public health scientist, collecting field data during a plague epidemiologic investigation in an unknown location. In this particular view, Dr. Kartman had captured a wild rodent using an animal trap from the Young Animal Trap Co. This animal would be analyzed in order to determine if it was hosting any plague-infected fleas.
	PHIL 13196: In this particular view, an infant was receiving an oral vaccine, which would prevent him from acquiring the highly-infectious disease poliomyelitis (polio), caused by the poliovirus. .
