Vaccine Delayed; U. S. Scientists Endorse Hass Shots

Polio Inoculations Lag Supply o i Vaccine Short; Its Arriva l Indefinite

Considerable confusion reigns, con­cerning the Suffolk County polio immunization program promised to begin this week. Dr. Philip J. Rafle, County Health Commissioner, says it must be postponed because sup­plies of the wonder-working Salk vaccine are not yet available. It had been expected that 31,500 chil­dren in the first four grades of the public and parochial schools of this county might be inoculated before the close of school in June. That is about 90% of the children in those grades. Parental consent must be obtained, and so far 29,208 young­sters have been cleared for the vac-

With commercial vaccine being produced in ever-increasing amounts the supply should be sufficiently large to take care of all the priority groups of children and expectant mothers, as well as many older children, before the traditional start of the polio season in July, Dr. Rafle concluded.

On April 30 an advisory group of eleven experts, including Dr. Jonas E. Salk, recommended that mass polio inoculations be continued in spite of contraction of the disease by twenty-nine who had received the vaccine. All but three of these cases had received vaccine from the Cutter Laboratories in Berkeley, Calif. The recommendation to con­tinue was made after a two-day consultation with U. S. Public Health Service scientists in Wash­ington, D. C.
