A polio official in New York says the 1955 Salk vaccine program probably saved 1,200 to 1,300 children from polio. Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical director of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, cited nationwide state reports and Foundation statistics showing markedly fewer polio hospital cases among vaccinated children, with hospital admissions dropping 52 percent for eight-year-olds and 40 percent for seven-year-olds, versus a 17 percent decline overall.
