Flow of New Batches Due To Be Released For Polio Vaccine
The government released 200010 doses of polio vaccine for immediate use, the first Salk batch in over two weeks, marking a step toward resuming the vaccination program. The doses from Pitman Moore and Wyeth were approved after earlier delays, with most supplies already administered. A White House meeting on federal controls drew Republican concern about speed and distribution, while Democrats urged a central system. A new polio case in Virginia was reported, and Milwaukee returned vaccine over testing worries, with New Jersey cities delaying inoculations until fall. The flow of new batches is expected to speed up as controls relax.
