Strict Tests Through Every PFosgz1 Assure Safety of SaIk Polio Vaccine

For the first time in history. a vaccine is protecting millions of human beings from paralytic polio. While the Salk vaccine will not work in every case, American children are being safeguarded against the dread disease, with no more risk than they would take in a vaccination against smallpox or a typhoid shot. The Salk vaccine must pass elaborate tests under the watch full eye of g government inspec- tor at every stage of production. Then the final packaged vaccine is approved by the US. Public Health Service for distribution. Here are shown few of the steps that assure American parents their children are being given a safe vaccine.

 The shipment of vaccine is to be distributed from Juneau in plenty of time to reach all communities in advance of the opening of school. Local health officers are being re- quested to contact school superin- tendents and principals to set the date for the injections as soon as possible after school opens
 ''The vaccine will be in Alaska early enough so that it could be administered in August" Dr Hay man said, however, it has been considered advisable to delay in- jections until the opening of school when the children will all have re- turned from their vacations and it will be much easier to get them to- gether. Since these children have received their first injection of vac,- cine, they have a high degree of protection and there is no appre- clable advantage in rushing the second injection"
