A contribution of 50 .cents was asked on November 15. "We are most interested in providing vaccine for as many of our people as we can give it to, Dr. Brinn 6aid. ."This cam paign is being held for that pur pose and we are only interested in paying the cost, of the cam paign through the contribu tions," he said. Dr. Brinn urges all those peo ple who missed the first dose of the vaccine on November 15 to start with the second dose on January 10. "They can take the second dose on January 10, get the third dose on February 21 and then get the dose thai they missed in make-up clinics to be held later in, the spring," Counties in which the Stop Polio Campaign is bfeing con ducted are Bertie, Camden, Cho wan, Currituck, Dare.
