Sabin Vaccine
Can Be Booster
For Salk Users
Washington (Science Serv
ice) - The Sabin oral live-
virus polio vaccine, found
suitable for government li
cense by the U. S. Public
Health service, will make an
ideal booster for persons -who
have had Salk polio shots, and
appears to be safe and effec
tive as a polio preventive for
infants.
Researchers doing work
with March of Dimes money
from the National Foundation
reported these finding in in
terviews covering work to be
discussed in a meeting of the
foundation's advisory commit
tee on virus vaccines in New
York City. The, committee,
which guides the foundation
in its vaccine research and
policy decisions, will meet to
discuss problems concerning
the use of the new vaccine in
the U. S,, particularly those
problems in areas in which
the foundation is sponsoring
research.
Doiage Schadulai
Dr. John R. Paul of Yale
university is conducting th
experiments on dosage sched
ules. He reported that there
is no evidence that persons
who have had Salk shots
should avoid Sabin vaccine,
Dr. Joseph L. Melnick of Bay
lor university medical school
in Houston, Tex., said more
strongly: "Those who have
had Salk, without question
can be given Sabin. In fact,
they are the ideal group.
Two foundation studies
with newborn babies and
young children on the effects
of the vaccine have shown no
ill effects on the young.
Dr. Martha Litson Lepow,
who is assisting Dr. Frederick
C. Robbins in polio research
at Western Reserve universi
ty, Cleveland, said they be
gan experiments to determine
administration and dosage of
Sabin in infants on Jan. 1,
using 150 newborn infants
and 75 babies three months
of age. "It will take one year
to be able accurately to de
termine immunity effects of
the vaccine relative to the
time of life when it was ad
ministered," Dr. Lepow said.

Besides studies with in-

fants, Dr. Melnick has begun
tests on adults, using 650
prisoner volunteers.
Dr. Melnick's work with
adults is expected to reveal
to what degree viremia - the
presence of poliovirus in the
blood - occurs after adminis
tration of Sibin vaccine.
With viremia there is a
greater likelihood of the cen
tral nervous system being af
fected. In polio infections, the
blood stream is the chief route
by which the virus travels to
the brain and spinal cord
where It may cause paralysis.
Should Dr. Melnick's stud
ies show that viremia does
occur often and to a consid
erable degree, authorities
might have to consider wheth
er live-virus vaccine is suit
able, particularly for young
adults and pregnant women,
Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, the
foundation's vice president
for medical affairs, said re
cently.
Ike Receives Radiation-Safeiy Standard Survey
Washington - (Science Serv
ice) - President Eisenhower
has requested and received a
complete survey of Federal
agencies' radiation safety
standards, it has been learned
here. The President has been
asked at a press conference if
an executive order sent to
federal agencies with the
over - all federal radiation
guides did not permit the
agencies to deviate, at will,
from the guides.
The unpublished survey by
the federal radiation council
showed that the agencies have
not deviated from the guides.
The council, which prepared
the safety guides, noted that
so far there has been no ne
cessity for deviating from the
guides.
The council also reported
to the President that it had
set up a regular mechanism
for receiving reports of safety
practices from agencies each
Aug. 1.
To Report Deviation
The Council also has told
agencies to inform it imme
diately of any deviations from
the guides.
This information will be re
ported to the President. All
cases involving operations at
levels in excess of the recom
mended guides will be report
ed to the President by the
council.
Although federal agencies
have ndt deviated from the
recommended guides, they
still have authority to do so
without any preliminary re
view either by the federal
radiation council or the Presi
dent. As of this date, 'there
has been no indication, from
the administration that ihe
executive order will -be
amended to require such pre
liminary review. " . i
