Salk inoculation drive to resume in area this fall
The Salk vaccination program, near standstill in summer, is expected to pick up this month and in the fall. Lawrence County will hold a second shot day August 11 and 12 at the County Health Department in Moulton for school children, with buses transporting those who had the first shot. Health officials urge parents to have their children receive the free protection. Plans divide shots by race, white first day and Negro second. In Morgan and Limestone Counties, the second shot effort has had poor turnout, with additional schools planned next week and into Morgan County. Cullman County plans to resume the program in fall, though no definite schedule is set.
