Washington reports ABC and polio vaccine confusion after Dr. Leonard Scheele ordered a halt to anti polio vaccinations. He cites a definite link between Cutter Laboratories vaccine and 44 polio cases among 52 post vaccination cases, while four manufacturers’ vaccines are deemed safe. Government tests were limited by urgency and reliance on manufacturers protocols.
