Second Polio Shots
Given In Most
Areas Of Texas
AUSTIN
Dr. Henry A. Holle, Commis-
sioner of Health, stated that the
second inoculation of first and
second grade pupils against
poliomyelitis has been complet-
• •d in most areas of Texas. Ap-
proximately 70 per cent of those
receiving the first shots were
on hand for the second group.
It is hoped that vaccine will
be available soon for use by
private physicians to immunize
those not eligible under the
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis program: also
that some arrangements can be
made to secure vaccine for the
medically indigent of the state.
Under the Foundation program,
use of vaccine has been limited
mostly to children in the first
and second grades.
Dr. J. E. Peavy, Chief of the
Division of Communicable Dis-
eases, says that polio occurs both
sporadically and in epidemics at
irregular intervals, with the
highest incidence in Texas dur-
ing the latter part of July and
the month of August.
During the past five years
37.4 per cent of the reported
cases of poliomyelitis in Texas
occured in the age group under
five years; per cent in the
group 5 to it years; 12.6 per
cent in the group 10 to 14 and
23.8 per cent of the cases re-
ported were 15 years of age or
older. During epidemics para-
lytic cases rarely exceed one per
thousand of population. The
most deaths from poliomyelitis
are in the 20 29 year group.
Poliomyelitis can be recogni-
zed by your physician by clinical
manifestations assisted by exam-
ination of the spinal fluid.
Strict Tests Through Every Process
Assure Safety of Salk Polio Vaccine
For tin- first time in history, a
vaccine is protecting millions of
linniun bring* from puralvtie
polio. While tin* Salk tacrine
will not work in every case,
American children are heing
safeguarded against tli * dread
disease, with no more risk than
they would take in a vaccination
against smallpox or • typhoid
shot. The Salk vaccine must pass
elaborate tests under the watch-
ful eye of a government inspec-
tor at every stage of production.
I hen the final packaged vaccine
is approved by the U.S. Public
Health Service for distribution.
Here are shown a few of the steps
that assure American parents
their children arc being given a ™8 t#ech"ic,an ' Altering dead cell, and all
. " s other foreign matter from polio virus after it
•ate vaccine. has grown on animal tissue In glass containers.
Virus is "cooked" In tank with formaldehyde
(from bottle) until It is rendered harmless,
after which it must pass exacting safety testa.
- - "Y'V '-'T"
Animal tissue in tubes is inoculated with vac-
cine and let stand. If any live virus remains,
it will multiply here, hence can be detected.
This expert is examining tissue
after contact with vaccine, to
determine absence of live virus.
It's all over and It didn't hurt a bit! Salk vac-
cine makes this little girl safer now from par-
alytic polio. And her parents feel better tool
