Walker. I \ " -1 Dr. Walker Dr. Walker heads the 175 member professional - volunteer ^roup which has spent several weeks in nlannine and preparing for the all out effort to feed every single person between the ages of .'1 months and 110 years with the polio preventing oral vaccine. "While there has been a dramatic decline in the number of cases of paralytic polio," Dr. Walker said, "the disease is not vet defeated. In the United States, there were more than laOO cases of polio in 1961. More than ???00 of these suffered either death or some sort of paralysis from the disease. "The Sabin vaccine may be the final answer to the fight against this dreaded disease. i ne vaccine is easy to administer ? pleasant to take ? no injection; it provides rapid action ? in about one week, and it helps break the chain of transmission by stimulating intestinal resistance to future infection. "Recent licensing of t h e Type III vaccine." he added, "means that the possibility of wiping out polio as a threat to our children or to their parents is closer than ever before. We have the tools. Now it's up to us in the community to use them." The vaccine will be administered at immunization centers i n strategic locations throughout the County. The vaccine will be administered to infants by dropper, spoon or paper cup. Older children and adults will be fed a cube of sugar on which the vaccine has been dropped. The entire family is urged to attend together the feeding stations between 12 noon and 6:00 ii.ni. on SOS (Sabin Oral Sunday)-October 27th. kii N-LYDIA MILLS, CLINTON.
