Few Donate Funds For Vaccine Some 10,700 doses of oral polio vaccine were given to Warren County citizens Sunday afternoon in the first of three clinics whose purpose is to stamp out polio in Warren County. The clinics are sponsored by the Warren County Medical So : ciety in cooperation with the ? State Board of Health and are being conducted under the di rection of Dr. Robert S. Cline, Warrenton physician. Assisting Dr Clme are other physicians of the county, pharmacists, nurses and scores of volun ieer workers. Dr. Cline Monday expressed his pleasure at (he number of people who turned out and the smoothness of the operation at the clinics, being held at War renton, Norlina and Afton-El beron. However, Dr. Cline was disturbed by failure of a large number of people to make any | contribution, towards the cost of the vaccine. Persons taking ! the clinic had been asked to j donate 25C for each dose, ex i cept in cases of where this sum j was beyond the means of those j receiving vaccine. It had been I hoped that larger contributions | on the part of many would make I up for those who were unable j to pay. Actually less than one-half of I the persons receiving the vac j cine made any contribution, ac [ cording to the receipts which | averagad less than 2 cents a i dose. What disturbed Dr. Cline was the fear that without better fi nancial suppo"' It may be im possible to nold all three clinics, but he expressed the view that in many cases It was thoughtlessness that kept many from contributing, and the hope that in the second clinic, to be held April 19, larger contri butions will make up the short age of the first clinic. Actually for most people, Dr. Cline said, the cost is negligi ble. The cost of obtaining the vaccine in the offices of pri vate physicians would run from $2.00 to $4.00 for each dose of vaccine administered. He stressed the fact, however,that no one would be refused the vaccine because of lack of abil ity to pay. Doctors and other volunteers are given their, time without cost. The 25? per dose asked is to pay for the actual cost of the vaccine and incidental expenses. Th e biggest number of per sons taking the vaccine was at the Health Center where 6,000 doses were given on Sunday afternoon. At Norlina 3350 re ceived the vaccine; and 1350 received the vaccine at Afton Elberon. In addition to the clinics held in Warren County, a clinic was held at Littleton by the Halifax Medical Society. It is believed that many persons in Warren County living in the Littleton area received the vaccine In area received the vaccine there. If that were the case, nearly two-thirds of Warren County citizens received Uie vaccine in Warren County's largest im munisation program Union Service To f? Held Al Mt.
