U S Seeks To Restore Confidence In Vaccine
The U S government launches an all-out campaign to reassure the public about the new vaccine standards for polio. Surgeon General Scheele says the vaccine is as safe as science can make it and far safer than changing risk in daily life. He notes breakthrough safety tests and explains the vaccine remains 60 to 90 percent effective, with more cases possible among vaccinated children but overall protection is higher. A national TV report with Oveta Hobby is planned as part of the push to clear up supply and safety concerns.
