Nation to buy nine million Salk polio vaccine doses
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis said it will contract to buy enough Salk polio vaccine to treat nine million people next year, a risk while efficacy tests are pending. Basil O'Connor said supplies will be ready to start after test results next spring, with production by pharma firms starting now. The $9 million purchase targets groups deemed highly susceptible, including 1.39 million children in trials, 4.275 million pregnant women, and 4.825 million first graders. Results by Dr. Thomas Francis Jr. at the University of Michigan are due next April.
