Sanford, Lake Campaign Here; Election Saturday To Be Safe, You Need , 4 Polio Shots Polio is a disease of the non immunized, says Dr. W. S. Cann. In an interview today. Dr. W. j S. Cann, Health Director of Cherokee. Clay, and Graham Health District, cautirmed parents of small children against the belief that polio was no longer a real danger in our area Dr. Cann explained that, as more and more children and adults in our area are protected against polio through immunizat ion, those without shots have less opportunity to build natural immunity against the disease in childhood. Consequently, children without immunization are un protected from the polio virus infecting them, and the disease may be more severe; its effects more serious. Dr. Cann stated further that a complete series of four shots of Salk vaccine is needed for adequate protection against polio. He urged parents, who ar~ not sure whether or not their child has had all of the necessary shots, to contact their physician for further information.
