Dr. Michael Heidelberger of New York Presbyterian Hospital announced a perfected vaccine that may immunize against most pneumonia types for six months or longer. The jab, built from purified materials around the germ, underwent a major 1943 trial at the Army Air Force Radio School in Lions Falls with supplies still held by the army. He said public access will be inexpensive and quoted a price implying broad protection, noting a small amount could immunize thousands.
