r Salk Vaccinations Cut '56 Polio Rato; I Reports Show Cases Down 50 Pet AP Newsfeatures By DAVII) L. BOWKS' Now that the traditional mid-fall peak of the polio season has pass ed there is clear, unmistakable and graphic evidence that crip pling polio is on the way out in the United States. The charts show as words can not how the cruel profile of polic has been drastically altered this year, cut in half by the immunity supplied through the Salk vaccine to 43 million persons The main graph traces the num ber of polio cases reported to the U. S. Public Health Service week by week. As usual, polio this year slumbered through the early half of the year, with about 100 new cases reported across the United States each week. In recent years, ttie case number always began a steep climb In early June and reached a tragic climax in August ??pt ember ? when new case ts flooded into Washington at the rate of 2.000 and more per week Total lleld Down This year the flood was stem med, At its worst, the 1950 polio season produced less than 1,000 new cases a week The total score for the year ? as traced on the in set chart ?. is leveling off now. Apparently total cases will be in the neighborhood of 15.000. This is less than half the total for 1954 iipd the average of the past five years. This year was the first in which the Salk vaccine was available throughout the polio season. A limited amount was used in 1955. "If all hands join in using the vaccine to its full availability be fore the next polio season," says National Polio Foundation Presi dent Basil O'Conner, "we can eliminate polio as an epidemic <|iscase in 1957." The foundation reports that while 43 million persons have re ceived at least one vaccination, only seven million have received the series of three injections ne cessary for fullest protection. The age group in which vaccination is most nearly complete comprises 5 to 9-year-olds. Particularly im portant targets now,__aceord_ing to ' the foundation, are very young in j fants, teen-agers and young adults I ' ZZ r?~ hh ? Cumulative - m^ooo ?fl954l \ /? " ??
