KEMBEKT, M D. It shouldn't be necessary at this ime to suggest again that all who lave not received their Polio ?ac :ine should do so without further lelay. All of the latest figures ihow that at this time there are wice as many paralytic poliomye itis cases as reported at this time n 1908. What is even more alarm ng is that at the rate cases are >ccurring at this time 1990 may >e the worst polio year since the rirst introduction of the Salk vac :ine in 1995. Several figures will show what s happening in the United States . . in the four year peiiod of L990-1954 before the Salk vaccine iras introduced there was an an nual average of 39,000, polio cases. By Uie end of 1907 the sversi I annual rate vaa below 6,000 cuq I In the year 1098 the cum jumpV | above the 6,000 mark. Considering only paralytic ci es of polio the average ii mui I greater for the first fix montl of 1990, some 996 paralytic eas having been reported through tl week ended July 18, as against < cases for the same period of tin{| a year ago. After close checking of all par{| lytic cases thus far reported 1999 it is interesting to note thJ nine out of every ten persons afflicted have not received tlfl full series of three Salk innoculg tions. Figures now available eo| clusively prove that the Salk va cine is 79 to 90 per cent effect!
