Sabin Oral Sunday Sees
Thousands Get Vaccine
Types 11, 111
To Be Given
March, April
During the first SOS this past
Sunday, thousands of Clayton
Countians received Type I vac
cine. It is the hope that every
man, woman and child will re
ceive all three types of Sabin
polio vaccine during this series.
No one in Clayton County should
pass up this opportunity to
immunize yourself and your
family against polio.
Those who missed the first
SOS (Sabin Oral Sunday) polio
immunizations will have the op
portunity to take the first of the
sugared Sabin Type I next Sun
day, February 16.
Immunization centers are set
up in Clayton County at the
following schools: North Clayton
High, Forest Park High, Lee
Street Elementary and the J. W.
Arnold Elementary.
The drive to immunize every
child over six weeks old and all
adults in Clayton County as well
as metropolitan Atlanta began
last Sunday.
These community SOS centers,
will be open from 12 noon until
5 p.m. on each of the scheduled
Sabin Oral Sundays in February,
March and April. The first of
the three types of Sabin oral
vaccine was offered at centers
February 9. Sabin Type I vaccine
was administered on that date
to all persons over six weeks of
age. The same vaccine will be
administered to those who
missed it on the first date.
Dates for other vaccines will
be March 15, March 22, and April
19 and April 26. The vaccine is
administered by mouth on a
lump of sugar to children and
adults and by eye-dropper to in
fants.
Sponsored by local county
medical societies, the campaign
is designed to eliminate the
threat of dread poliomyelitis in
this area. The SOS centers are
located at schools and health
