Salk Vaccine Lack In Oregon Seen Over Portland !1P The Oregon State Board of Health today hailed the apparent end of the Salk anti-polio vaccine shortage.

The statement said there may be occasional shortages on a lo cal basis due to shipment prob lems but that they would be temporary. Dr. Russell Kaufman president of the medical society, suggested that persons in the 20-40 age bracket call their family physi cians since a limited supply of vaccine is available for that group.
