O'CONNOR SAYS
POLIO VACCINE
PERFECTLY SAFE
Leslie O'Connor, National
Foundation for Infantile Pa
ralysis, answers a question. What
assurance can we give our citi
zens that Salk polio vaccine Is
now safe?
Every assurance. The Francis
Report has shown that the vac
cine when properly manufac
tured and tested does not cause
polio and can prevent paralysis
in 60 per cent to 90 per cent of
the cases. Dr. Leonard A. Scheele,
Surgeon General of the United
States Public Health Service in •
his television report of June 7th,
declared that the Salk vaccine
is as'safe and effective as sci
ence can make it. The newly
delineated Federal Government
standards for manufacture and
safety testing have been com
mended by Dr. James E. Salk as
"concrete steps” toward solution
of manufacturing problems en
countered in the 1955 vaccine
program.
