Scheele details errors in Salk vaccine program
U S Surgeon General Leonard Scheele outlined errors in safety testing and reporting on the Salk polio vaccine. He said wide use is coming with stricter rules and that the program should prevent many polio cases in children. He noted reporting gaps at manufacturers and questioned the Cutter involvement while stressing five million children treated in 1955 with no untoward results. He added that some polio cases post vaccination may be coincidental and tied excess Cutter-related cases to infective virus. Also pictured are Illinois Toll Road Commission committee members in Springfield, with several members not present.
