Salk Answers Critical Questions On His Polio Vaccine
Dr Jonas Salk explained at a news conference that one shot provides a large degree of protection lasting six months or longer and reduces the chances of polio. He noted a second shot can be delayed up to 30 months, and both shots may be given in summer. A vaccinated child can still pass polio to others, but as a carrier for a shorter time than unvaccinated children.

U S Clears More Vaccine for Polio Shots
Washington reports the government approved about one million cubic centimeters of Eli Lilly polio vaccine for immediate distribution to first and second graders. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis ordered rapid shipment to New Jersey, Maine, Montana, and the Dakotas for first doses and to eight Southern and Western states for second doses. A booster is planned after seven months as efforts aim to immunize most children before the late summer polio peak. Scheele and Hobby prepared a national broadcast to discuss the program.
