Medical Man Tells Importance
Of Three Phases of Pofio Shots
By HART E VAN RIPER. M.D.I health authority in your commu
Medical Director nity can advise you as to time
; Hational Foundation for Iniantile I and place.
Paralysis
(Editor's note: This is the fourth of
a series of five articles on what parents
should know about the Salk polio vac
cine. Under Dr. Van Riper's direction
the National Foundation sponsored
the research development of the vac
cine and he is in charge of the Foun
dation's program for vaccinating chil
dren in ths first and second grades
of school.)
"Johnny had one shot of Salk
vaccine at school. Then school
closed and we were informed
by the principal that there would
be no more vaccinations until
reopening in the fall. I under
stand that three shots of Salk
vaccine are necessary, the sec
ond within two to four weeks
after the first. Does this mean
that Johnny's first shot was
wasted and that he will have to
e begin all over?"
The answer: If Johnny gets his
second shot when school reopens
or in fact at any time within
the next school term the first
shot will not have been wasted
and he will not need a new
"first" shot, according to evi
dence presented by Dr. Salk.
With the first shot, something
begins' to happen in the body,
with these two results:
One, there is production of
polio antibodies, not only in
persons who have produced
them before, but also and
here is the important point
in those who have not. Polio
antibodies are tiny particles
in the blood that protect
G against virus invasion of the
brain and spinal cord where
the damage may be done.
Two, the system begins to be
more sensitive, more readily
alerted, to any future need
for antibodies, and to any fu
ture stimulous to their produc
tion. Results Carried Further
The second shot, within a pe
riod of 10 days after it is admin
istered, carries both these desir
able results further more anti
bodies, higher sensitivity. It prob
ably lengthens, too, the time in
which they will hold good.
But the sensitizing effect of
the first shot will endure, in
most cases, through the better
part of a year. That is why the
child who already has one shot
can go through the summer with
out getting the second and not
have to begin over.
Here is the recommended
schedule: Two doeses, of one cu
bic centimeter each, the second
preferably (but not necessarily)
two to four weeks after the first,
and a third or booster shot, the
antibody count goes soaring far
above the level achieved by the
first two. Within nine days of
the booster injection, immunity
to paralytic polio is about as
high as it is in patients who have
recovered from natural infec
tions. Indeed, in one sense it is
better, because the Salk vaccine
protects against all three types
of the polio virus, whereas this
does not0occur in a single natural
infection.
Completion Due Soon
.Under the program sponsored
by the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, all children
in the first and second grades of
school as of spring, 1955, were
offered the first two shots of
Salk vaccine. That program,
though delayed in some local
ities, will be completed this fall.
If you did not request vaccina
tion of your child when the first
shots were being given, your child
is no longer eligible under the
National Foundation program.
However, if you have changed
your mind, the chances are that
vaccine will be available to doc
tors through commercial chan
nels soon enough so that your
doctor can give the child the
two shots and the booster seven
months later, all before the
"polio season" begins next sum
mer. If you do make this deci
sion, it is best to start the shots
early enough to beat the 1956
season.
If your chiid has received one
shot under the National Founda
tion program, he is eligible for
the second shot. The public
Booster Shot Essential
But it is most important to
remember that the third or boost
er shot, about which you must
see your own doctor, is essential.
You "cannot be sure that you are
giving your child the fullest
protection possible if you neglect
this. While the first two shots
give protection equal to that
shown among the 440,000 chil
dren who were given the vaccine
in the field trial of 1954 that
is, an effectiveness of between
60 and 90 per cent the two
shot immunity is only temporary.
Dr. Salk and his fellow-scientists
do not know yet whether
the protection given by the whole
course of three shots is lifelong
or, indeed, just what its dura
tion is, and whether further

Jury Tentatively
Sealed for Trial
Of Burton Abbott
Oakland, Calif. (U.PJ A jury
of seven men and five women
was tentatively seated in the
jury box today to hear the kidnap-murder
trial of Burton W.
Abbott.
Abbott, 27, is accused of slay
ing 14-year-old Stephanie Bryan
of Berkeley last April. Her body
was found near Abbott's Trinity
county mbuntain cabin in July.
Not all of the jurors seated in
the box today will remain there.
They may be excused by a per
emptory challenge, of which
each side has 20.
Good Progress
Such good progress was made
in the choosing of a jury on the
opening day of the trial 'yester
day that District Attorney J.
Frank Coakley of Alameda
county cautiously guessed a jury
may be seated by the end of the
week.
Defense attorney Stanley D.
Whitney declined to go that far,
but he said, "We're going faster
than I expected."
Abbott appeared to be at ease.
He occasionally took careful
notes with a pencil and notebook
furnished him by his attorneys.
Spectators Limited
The only spectators allowed
in the courtroom were his red
haired wife, Georgia; his moth
er, Mrs. Elsie Abbott; and his
brother, Mark. They occupied
