Negro children urged to take free polio shots citywide
A bulletin from Dr. George M. Erickson of the Dade County Health Department warns that relatively few Negro children in the eligible 1 to 19 age range are receiving the free Salk polio vaccine offered at five clinics. The notice lists clinic locations and times in North County, Southwest, Homestead, Downtown, and the Health Department Clinic, urging parents to accompany children or provide a note if unattended. Immunizations will continue through the summer with booster doses for those vaccinated in 1955.
