I know about the Simian Virus 40 contamination issue, but haven't heard of people getting polio from the Salk vaccine, which to my knowledge is inactivated.

Wasn't there an issue with an unrelated vaccine, a Sabin infectious attenuated polio vaccine? I don't know the details.

I always wanted to know more about the SV40 issue, since that is apparently a real issue for people who received it.
