Clayton County Ministers

At a meeting of Clayton Coun

introduced the subject of the
Blood Program, presently being
stressed in the county. The min

together with a decision to em

someone gives.
You can give March 24 at the

in Clayton County had better

Mr. Lane told of facilities
available presently, and the de

with these facilities, and with
the need for them and more

public that he and his office will

Sabin Oral Sunday Set
For This Sunday, March 15
Clayton County residents are expected to turn out
again in record numbers on March 15 and 22 to participate
in the second phase of the Sabin Oral Sunday mass im
munization program against polio.
Campaign officials said that although nearly 800,000
persons in an 18-county area in
and around Atlanta received
type I Sabin oral vaccine in
February, it is hoped that even
more will report to the immuni
zation centers to receive Type 111
Sabin vaccine.
Physicians of the county medi
cal societies sponsoring the cam
paign explained that thousands
of adults, particularly, in this
area have not had the Type 111
vaccine, aS it was not available
in a previous mass immunization
program.
Therefore, those who are not
sure what type they or members
of their family have had before
should, to be safe, be sure that
all concerned receive Type 111.
It will be offered to everyone
over six weeks of age, including
adults over 40.
The physicians reminded, too,
that all three types of Sabin oral
vaccine are necessary for com
plete immunization against polio.
Type II vaccine, which completes
the necessary series, will be of
fered on April 19 and 26. It was
stressed further that although
some persons missed getting
Type I last month, they should
tertainly avail themselves of the
opportunity to receive the other
two dosages. Type I will be avail
able later from personal physi
cians.
Another important point is
that the Sabin vaccine series not
ohly provides immunization but
it also prevents anyone from
being a carrier of the dread polio
virus. Thus, if most of the resi
dents in the area receive the full
dosage, polio should be virtually
eliminated as a threatening
crippier throughout the cam
paign area.
The immunization centers,
which will be open from noon
until 5 p.m. on Sabin Oral Sun
day, are conveniently located in
schools and health centers in the
various counties.
