POLIO VACCINE TESTS WIN FINAL
APPROVAL, GET UNDER WAY IN NATION
Washington, April 25.—A com
mittee of polio experts today
gave its final approval to the
start of a nationwide tests Mon
day of a new polio vaccine.
Inoculations of the new vac
cine, last entry in the quest of a
means of preventing the “great
crippler,” are scheduled to get
underway in at least some of the
1T11 communities in 45 states.
The vaccine to be used will be
the manufactured version of a
vaccine , originally developed by
Dr. Jonas Salk in his laborato
ries at the University of Pitts
burgh.
The actual commencement of
the trials, which may ultimately
involve the vaccination of more
thart half a millioft children, was
okayed by a group of experts af
ter a final two-day appraisal of
the vaccine’s safety.
The group constituted a “Vac
cine Advisory Committee” to
the National Foundation toe
Infantile Paralysis, sponsors of
the tests.
Until the committee announc
ed its decision, late this after
noon, that the vaccine was con
sidered safe for use in the tests,
it still had been an open question
whether the vaccination pro
gram would be started as plan
ned—even though the first ship
ments of the material already
had been made to many of the
states slated to take part. But
even before the experts met, of
ficials of the NF1P were repre
sented as confident the vaccine
would pass final appraisal and
that the tests would start as
planned.
Supplies of the vaccine had
been distributed with “the un
derstanding that none is to be
used until released by the Vac
cine Advisory Committee.” .
Today’s dicision automatically
released the delivered vaccine
for use. '
Technically, the committee
recommended that the NFIP go
ahead with the planned tests,
and President Basil O’Connor of
the fondation said the organi
zation would do so, and would
assume administrative and fi
nancial responsibility for evalu
ating the vaccine.
The anouncement of the go
ahead decision was made at e
news conference at which it was
said that 7,507 children, in pre
liminary tests, had already been
given a manufactured type of
the vaccine and that “there have
been no recognizable untoward
effects."
Of the 7,507 children, 3,443 had
previously received a shot of
vaccine made in Salk’s own lab
oratory.
Of the 4,064 who received the
manufactured type, only 3,007
have now been inoculated and
observed for a period of at least
21 days.
Saying that specifications and
minimal requirements had been
established for the production of
the manufactured vaccine, the
advisory committee said, “The
possibility of# infectious activity
remaining in any vaccine meet
ing the specifications and mini
mal requirements has been re
duced to the point below which
it cannot be measured by prac
ticable laboratory procedures.”
And Basil O’Connor declared:
“The tests set up (for testing
the vaccine in the laboratories
Thursday, April 29,1»S4
before release) ar efar beyond
those ever required for any (oth
er) vaccine to date."
Coincident with the commit
tee’s decision, the U. S. Public
Health Service issued a state
ment saying:
“We believe that the judgment
of the Vaccine Advisory Com
mittee is sound and that the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis is justified in proceed
ing according to the committee’s
recommendationsi.”
The Public Health Service,
through its Biologies Control
Laboratory, assisted in the lab
oratory testing of the vaccine.

Final figures show the 1953
Christmas Seal Sale of the South
Carolina tuberculosis association
was the most successful in the
association’s history, amounting
to $329,052.99 and showing an in
crease of one percent over the
1952 sale, according to Robert M.
Cooper, honorary state chair-
man. (
Twenty county associations in
the state showed gains over the
1952 totals.
The National Tuberculosis As
sociation will receive six percent
of the Seal Sale income from
South Carolina, one percent of
which is specifically ear-marked
for research. However, the na
tional association expects to
spend 16 per cent of its total in
come this year on research pro
jects.
Funds remaining in South
Carolina will be used to find
persons who knowingly or un
knowingly have tuberculosis it
carry on a program of telling
people about causes of tubercu
losis, prevention of the disease
and treatment, and to rehabili
tate those patients who recover
to the point where they can plan
to return to their communities.
