Salk Quiz Editor's Note on Polio Vaccination Policy
A Q and A from the Public Relations Department of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis discusses provocation risk in polio vaccines. It reports that vaccination during rising polio incidence is advised, with protection outweighing provocation risk, based on a 1955 meeting of 26 experts. Incubation ranges from three to 35 days, typically about two weeks, and antibodies develop after vaccination but offer no protection if infection has already occurred.

Amos Quesenberry said a circuit judge may decide within two weeks.
