Head Tells Production Continuing
Surgeon General Leonard Scheele said federal release of any additional polio vaccine has been halted pending a complete study by top medical scientists. Production continues but federal review and approval of new supplies is on hold. He noted a conference of scientists underway should conclude the vaccine is excellent and that nationwide inoculation should continue. The only slowdown is in federal review before releasing vaccines. no letters suggesting preventions. The administration backs voluntary distribution to children first and the government should prioritize those most in need. He cited 147 new poliomyelitis cases last week, compared with 106 the prior week and 122 the year before, with several cases from Cutter Laboratories and Lilly vaccines.
