The plan would extend immunization through age 19 after the current National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis program ends. It includes two million more for Public Health Service inspectors and technicians to ensure vaccine safety and testing. The voluntary state distribution approach aims for rapid, fair access to those in need, while vaccine supplies resume after safety checks.
