Additional Stations To Be Open Sunday For
Second Dose Of Sabin Oral Polio Vaccine In County
MURPHY - The second dose
of Sahln oral Polio vaccine trill
be given to Cherokee County
residents Sunday from 12:00
to 5:00 p.m. at nine stations
throughout the county, three
more stations than were open
for the first dose Jan. 19.
Sponsoring organizations,
the Murphy Jaycees and the
County Medical Association,
have a definite goal to shoot
for as to the number of people
who turn out Sunday.
Some 10,587 county resi
dents took the first dose Jin.
19, and campaign workers are
striving to get all these people
back for dose number two.
The three new stations will
be set up at elementary
schools at Ranger (which was
open Jan. 19 but with no ad
vance publicity), Martin's
Creek and Unaka.
The other six stations which
will operate as they did for
the first dose Include elemen
tary schools at Murphy, Mar
ble, Peachtree. and White
Church, and high schools at
Andrews and Hlwassee Dam.
The announcement that all
six stations will be open from
12:00 - 5:00 p.m. gives peo
ple an hour longer to get the
vaccine than they had on Jan.
19, when the stations didn't
open until 1:00 p.m.
The sponsors ask that those
who take the vaccine contri
bute at least a quarter to cover
expenses. Contributions tout
ed $3,469.93 for the first dose,
which averaged almost a quar
ter per person. Everyone Is
urged to taiie the vaccine whe
ther or riot they are able to
donate.
The third and final dose of
the Sab in vaccine will be giv
en Mar. 29.
People must take all three
doses to get complete pro
tection from Polio and from
the danger of being a car
rier of die germ.
The Sabin vaccine is given
to everyone over three months
of age, regardless of sex or
any previous Polio vaccine
the persons may have taken.
It is administered by plac
ing two drops of vaccine on
a sugar cube and the cube is
eaten by the person taking
the vaccine.
Small babies are given the
vaccine by placing two drops
in their mouth.
The vaccine is odorless,
tasteless and leaves no after
effects. It is highly recom
mended by donors here and
throughout the world.
Doctors and nurses and
other volunteer workers will
be on hand at the stations to
supervise the operation.
Everyone who took the first
dose Jan. 19 was given a card
showing the date they took the
vaccine, and persons who
come for the second dose on
Sunday are asked to bring the
card with them so the date
of the second dose can be put
on the card.
