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
