globulin was administered on q
mass basis to all children last
summer the committees report
said that in most Of them the
inoculations were given after the
peak Of the epidemic had passed,
so there was little chance to
demonstrate an effect Of gamma
globulin in modifying the epi-
demic.
One trouble those who con-
trolled the supply of gamma
globulin faced was in trying to
know when community was
headed toward an epidemic of
polio. It is impossible. scientists
say. to determine how or when
polio viii sweep through a COM
munity.
Because gamma globulin was
scarce. doctors had to wait until
polio struck before going ahead
with injections. BY that time
the disease had either gotten out
of hand-or had died of.
Had they known polio would
strike at a certain period and
infect certain number of peo-
pie. those persons could have
received gamma globulin with
the hopes it would ward of polio
when it did strike.
The family contact" use Of
gamma globulin. where members
Of the household of q polio case
were inoculated as soon as the
illness was recognized. did not
meaSureably reduce the number
Of subsequent paralytic cases in
these households" the commit
tee said.
Protection" Claimed.
Last summers test of gamma
globulin came after scientists re-
ported 1t was indicated that
gamma globulin offered marked
protection" against paralytic
polio-on a temporary basis.
Because gamma globulin was
in scarce supply. its use was rig
idly controlled by the Office Of
Defense Mobilization and doled
out only to family contacts"
and to epidemic areas.
The Public Health Service said
the 20-member committee had
studied medical data from all
parts of the country which had
been collected and analyzed
since the end Of last years polio
season" by the staff of the Health
Services Communicable Dis
ease Center in Atlanta.
The evaluation program was
sponsored by the health service
in collaboration with the Asso-
citation of State and Territorial
Health officers. the American
Physical Therapy Association
and the D. T. Watson School
Of PhysiatricS of Pittsburgh.
