Clinics To
Be Held At
3 Stations
The second !n a series of
three polio clinics will be held
at three stations in Warren
County Sunday.
Clinics will be held at the
Health Center In Warrcnton, at
the Woman's Club House in Nor
lina and at the Afton-Elberon
schoolhouse, beginning at noon
and lasting until 5 o'clock.
Nearly 11,000 doses of the
vaccine were given in the first
of the three clinics held on
March 22, and in addition num
bers of citizens who missed the
clinic took the vaccine at the
Health Center during the week
following the clinic. However,
the vaccine will be availablefor
only one day at the Health
Center for the benefit of those
unavoidably prevented from
reaching the clinics Sunday,
Dr. R. S. Cline, clinic direc
tor said yesterday.
The clinics are sponsored by
the Warren County Medical
Society in cooperation with '.he
State Board of Health. Assist
ing Dr. Cline are other physi
cians of the county, phar
macists, nurses, and scores of
volunteer workers.
Dr. Cline expressed his
gratification at the number of
persons who attended the first
clinic which he said was highly
successful. However, he ex
pressed his disappointment at
the number of those who fail
ed to make a payment of 25$
for the dose received, which was
counted upon to pay the cost
of the vaccine and other inci
dental expenses. Dr. Cline said
yesterday that persons who are
able to do so are expected to pay
this small fee, but stressed the
fact that no one would be re
fused the vaccine because of
lack of funds.
Persons who took the first
doses of the oral vaccine are
asked to bring their registra
tion cards to the clinics for the
second dose.. All those who at
tended the first clinic are urged
to attend the clinic Sunday and
the third and final clinic on
May 17 because protection
against the three types of polio
are essential, Dr. Cline said.
He said that he hoped that
those who missed the first
clinics would attend the other
two clinics as protection against
at least two of the types of
polio would be given.
Dr. Cline again pointed out
that the vaccine Is given on
sugar and Is not unpleasant to
take and that no 111 effects fol
low.
