Block children not protected
The numher of black child
ren who are not protected a-
galnst polio would not he so
alarm ingly high i f th e ir par
ents could remem her the days
when this crip p lin g disease
was a constant menace, says
O r. Roland K Scott, profes
sor and chairman of the de
partment
of pediatrics at
Howard U niversity Medical
School.
D r. Scott was responding to
government statistics which
show that half of the children
in many in n e r-city areas are
not fu lly immunized against
polio. In a ll, says the Center
fo r Disease C ontrol, a third
of a ll children In the one-to-
four-year age group have not
received the fu ll senes of
polio vaccine doses.
D r. Scott and pediatrician
members of the National Med
ical Association are urging
parents to make sure that th e ir
children are fu lly protected
against polio. The Associa
tion, with headquarters in
Washington. D . C. . is the na
tion’ s largest organization of
black physicians.
“ Those of us who were
practicing in the days before
the vaccine remember what
a te rrib le scourge polio w as,"
D r. Scott asserted. “ P aral
ysis is a dreadful thing, par
tic u la rly when it a fflic ts a
young person. And there were
deaths, too.”
“ Then came the Salk and
Sabin vaccines, which have al
most eliminated polio. But
I ’m afraid the public is being
lulled into a false sense of
se cu rity.’ ’
D r. Roland B. Scott
D r. Scon considers it ” a-
mazing” that any child should
be unprotected, considering
that the vaccine is readily a-
vailable
and can be given
quickly and painlessly.
“ We have a vaccine that is
extremely easy to give. It
is taken by mouth, without the
need fo r and injection, and it
is both safe and effective.’ ’
Where
many parents go
wrong. D r. Scott warned, is
in assuming that the dose of
polio vaccine given in the firs t
year of life is enough. To
help insure life -lo n g protec
tion, the American Academy
of
Pediatrics recommends
five doses of the vaccine, in
cluding a final dose several
years after the fir s t fourdoses
are given.
D r. Scott blames parent’ s
neglect of polio immunization
on a "communication gap” .
“ Our real fear is that the neg
lect of this essential protec
tion could lead to an outbreak
of polio. If that should happen,
the children who are not im
munized could become statis
tics. We want to guard against
any child becoming a statis
tic, with all our pow er,"
