"The Salk vaccine, developed with March of Dimes funds," the director said, "gives us a power ful weapon for knocking out polio. With this victory In sight even though not yet achieved, the National Foundation Is pre paring to march 'Toward Greater Victories' in the realm of pub lic health. But the National Foundation is still pledged to i give patient aid to all polio victims past or future who need its help." Es 1 1 m a t e s indicate some 150,000 survivors of paralytic polio might benefit from modern techniques of rehabilitation pio neered by the National Founda tion. Some 50,00o are already on its patient aid chapter rolls. In Morrow county at the present time, there are three post-polio patients receiving patient aid of various kinds througli funds ob tained from past March of Dimes campaigns. "In polio research," the direc tor said, "the National Founda tion is seeking to increase the effectiveness of the Salk vaccine; Indications are that it is 90 per cent effective with three properly spaced shots. Also being studied is a 'live' virus vaccine that can be taken by mouth. The Salk vaccine is a 'dead' virus vaccine requiring a series of Injections. Other National Foundation re searchers are looking for better ways to lessen the crippling after effects of polio." The campaign director pointed out that while polio is on the run it is still crippling people more than three years after de velopment of a preventative vac cine. In Morrow county it Is esti mated that 85 of the school age children have had at least two shots of polio vaccine. Most of those students with inadequate or no Salk vaccine protection are in the high school age groups. The pre-school age youngsters and the young adults between 20 and 40 years of age have been slow In obtaining the vac cine although it is a proven fact that the majority of paralytic cases of polio occur in these two age groups. The Morrow county Board of Health has authorized the pur chase of Salk vaccine for use by the local health department in Its immunization programs. There will be a minimal charge made to partially defray the cost and handling of the vaccine. However, the vaccine will be available without charge to any one unable to assume the cost. With the continued cooperat ion of our private physicians, the health department and other in terested agencies, it is hoped that the Salk Immunization level of Morrow county can be raised dur ing 1959. "We must keeup our vaccina tion education program to pre sent unnecessary crippling," the 1 director said, "and we must take care of the stricken, even as we raise our sights to include the problems - of arthritis and birth defects."
