Recommendations For Children Given 1954 Polio Shots
D A H Daniels relays Dr Jonas Salk recommendations for children who received the 1954 polio series. Those with no later inoculations should start a full new series. 1954 with a booster in 1955 require one new inoculation now and another in spring 1957. 1954 with two inoculations in 1955 need one inoculation now. The change reflects the 1955 dosage schedule’s greater effectiveness.
