Julius Youngner and Nurses
Creator
Unknown
Date

Identifier

Description
Julius Youngner draws blood from a nurse's left arm prior to her receiving the injection of polio vaccine so that her blood could be analyzed for antibodies against polioviruses. This would later on determine how the current injection of vaccine affected the levels of polio antibodies circulating in her bloodstream (either boosting levels of any preexisting antibody or inducing new antibody formation). The bent left arm was to put pressure on the venipuncture site to prevent bleeding from the vein that had been punctured by the needle.
