This 1963 photograph shows CDC’s Wellbee, a cartoon character who was created to personify "good public health," at Fenway Park with Boston Red Sox Team members: (left to right) Bill Monbouquette, pitcher; Dick "The Monster" Radatz, relief pitcher; and Eddie Bressoud, shortstop.
CDC used Wellbee in a comprehensive marketing campaign that used newspapers, posters, leaflets, radio and television, as well as personal appearances at public health events. Wellbee’s first assignment was to sponsor Sabin Type II oral polio vaccine campaigns across the United States. Later, Wellbee’s character was incorporated into other health promotion campaigns including diphtheria and tetanus immunizations, hand-washing, physical fitness and injury prevention. This artifact can be found in the Global Health Odyssey.
