Plans Completed For Second Polio Test Shot Tomorrow
The second of three Salk polio vaccine clinics will be held at Alfred J. Griffin Schools starting 9 a.m. Tomorrow only second grade pupils will attend with no blood samples taken. About 650 second graders in local and county schools have already been inoculated. The final clinic is planned for June 15. The program relies on three shots to study immunity and a foundation-backed, community-driven effort with volunteers and PTA groups assisting.
