Dr. B. B. McGuire, District
Health Officer, today urged par
ents to protect their children from
polio by taking advantage of anti
polio vaccine which, it is. now re
ported, is in abundant supply.
In regard to the use of the vac
cine, the' Health Ofifcer released
the following information contained
in a letter received from Dr. "Hart
S. Van Riper, Medical Director, Na
tional Polio Foundation.
"May, I personally urge you to
obtain, just as much vaccine as you
need and inject it without delay in
as many of you? indents as are
eligible to receiva viccinfe in your
community T V

the' Aw'.'can Aca'deniy of P.. .lia-

ciauon, me , American : r u a t i,c
Health Association and other medi
cal organizations concur that it is
both safe and desirable to vaccinate
with poliomyelitis vaccine now and
throughout the summer.
"At the 105th Annual Meeting
of the American Medical Associa
tion in Chicago on June 11, Surg
eon General Leonard Scheele of the
U. S. Public Health Service said:
"The immediate order of business
in the polio fight is to use every
drop of vaccine available in ' the
widest possible way . . . Vaccine.
given ,n July and August will P-'
vent paralytic cases and even
deaths in August and September'.
"May I suggest that ybu give re-'
assurance .that- the present Salk.
tients, parents and others in your
community who : still ; needlessly
doubt it? The scienWic documen-
effectiveness is overwhelming.1
Over 30 million children' in the
United - States alone have been
inoculated without mishap since
May 7, 1955. Experience in 1955,
now reported from IS areas (most
ly states) shows that the vaccine
is at least 75 per cent effective in
preventing poliomyelitis.''
