As a tragi fall in the Detroit area alone inv death to 23. Similar serious pol in New Jersey, Virginia. West V Last year the nation-wide paralytic polio total rose an alarming 44 percent higher than in 1957. More than half of these paralytic polio victims were pre-school children. most of whom had not been vaccinated or had not completed the full series of Salk vaccine inoculations. While polio occurs among persons of all ages, those most susceptible are children and adults under 40 years of age. It has been indicated that 53 percent of all persons in the country under the age of 40 had not completed the basic three injections, and more than one third have had no vaccine at all At least three injections of Salk vaccine are required to provide adequate protection from polio. Two injections furnish 80 percent protection. The full series of three provides 90 percent protection and longer lasting immunity. Some authorities recommend a fourth injection as an additional safeguard for those vaccinated when the Salk vaccine first became available and its potency was variable. This booster shot is also recommended where t r o ? 1.1 v o v.uftiu oi'CKnorn CAMPFIRE GIRLS PLAN CAMP TRIP Some 50 Clinton Camp Fire Girls, their leaders and Community Activities Directors will leave for a week's encampment at Camp Buckhorn.

I M U i the way, two Americans in tection provided by the Salk c result, a polio epidemic last olved 876 persons and brought io outbreaks occurred in 1958 irginia. Montana, and Hawaii. local outbreaks of polio are beginning or when individuals are going into areas where the incidence of polio is high. Proper spacing of the injections is essential if they are to be effective. The first two should be spaced three or preferably four weeks apart and the third seven months to a year after the second. If you begin the series of Salk vaccine shots now for you and your family, there is still time to build your defenses before the onset of the 1959 polio season. If everyone in your family has not been vaccinated, their time to start is now. The most desirable procedure is to have your family physician administer the injections of Salk vaccine for your entire family, or the local health officials, or the Company nurses can tell you where they may be obtained. Health authorities have emphasized that the family group is the key to the success of the immunization program. Plant Nurses. Myrtle West R. N., and Dorcas Copeland, R. N.. agree with the views of the National Polio Foundation expressed above, and urge Clinton-Lydia employees to get the Salk vaccine shots for themselves and their families with the least possible delay.
