Program Will Be
Delayed Six Weeks
By Federal Move
Washington (U.R) rThe gov
ernment today announced the
formal adoption of stiff new safe
ty standards for Salk polio
shots"to make a good vaccine
better" and to protect "our chil
dren." Manufacturers said the move
will delay full resumption of the
nation's inoculation program by
at least six weeks. But they
unanimously agreed to the stan
dards early today In the inter
ests of safety.
Surgeon General Leonard A.
Scheele proclaimed the safety of
all vaccine "already produced
and used," except for two sus
pect lots by Cutter Laboratories.
But he said the manufactur
ers and scientists who met here
all week agreed new safety
standards are the "only possible
course" to insure protection for
America's children.
Scheele said the government's
new vaccine clearance commit
tee hopes to make recommenda
tions in a few days regarding
the "clearance of vaccine made
by Pitman-Moore and Wyeth
"Laboratories.
Inspection Report 'Excellent'
This vaccine, approved once,
was ordered rechecked three
weeks ago. Scheele indicated it
will be cleared. He said the in
spection report on the two firms
was "excellent." Vaccine by
Parke Davis and Eli Lilly was
released previously.
Scheele said Cutter Labora
tories, whose vaccine has been
under . suspension, is resuming
production under the revised
standards. Its vaccine will, of
course, have to be cleared by the
government batch-by-batch be
fore being distributed.
The surgeon general's an
nouncement came at the end of
an all-week dispute over what
form the safety standards should
take. It also climaxed a mara
thon, 15-hour final session which
didn't wind up until 2:30 a.m.
today. N
Five of .the vaccine manufac
turers agreed early Thursday to
go along with the standards. But
Pitman-Moore, which will have
to do more retesting than the
others, did not agree until late
Thursday night after hours of
discussion with top. public health
service officials.
"Minimum Slowdown
Scheele said the revised stand
ards, which will be made pub
lic later today and go into ef
fect immediately, would cause
a "minimum slowdown in the
production of vaccine that is
consistent with the added safe
ty" involved.
Interviews with representa
tives of the six manufacturers
showed that it will be six weeks
or longer before substantial
new vaccine supplies begin flow
ing int6 the inoculation pro
gram. This means it will be impos
sible to give second shots to
