Polio Vaccine Release Outlook From Surgeon General
Surgeon General Leonard Scheele told the House Banking Committee that no threat to the ultimate success of the vaccination program has emerged and the suspension will be lifted momentarily for one manufacturer. He discussed possible legislation, noting Mrs. Queta Hobby plans a welfare report to the President. He saw no objection to the government buying vaccine output for mass inoculation and said enough vaccine should be available for the height of the polio season. Continuous production improvements have reduced early difficulties, and he denied higher ups overruling Health Service.
