Health service on gamma globulin polio study findings
A three day Atlanta committee report on gamma globulin mass inoculations finds insufficient data to prove efficacy in preventing polio. Family contact use showed no measurable reduction in subsequent paralytic cases or severity. CDC data, SUN, and partnerships with health groups informed the evaluation. Meanwhile Virginia Senate panel rejects new judicial circuits, favors temporary relief by reassignment and calls for a system wide study.
