Polio Vaccine To Be Distributed Georgia's plans are under way f;r administration of en¬ ough polio vaccine to give first and second shots to about 480,- 000 children and pregnant wo¬ men The state will receive an al¬ lotment from the U. S. Public Health Service under the Po¬ liomyelitis Vaccination Assist¬ ance Act recently signed by the President, which provides $30,- 000,000 for the purchase by the federal government or state government of all vacine pro¬ duced before February 15, 1956. The value df Georgia’s share will be $992,329, with additional funds for carrying out the vac¬ cination program. When the vaccine is received, said Dr. The mas F Sellers, director of the Georgia Department of Public Health, it will be distri¬ buted to the state's 159 coun¬ ties through the county health departments, or through re¬ gional offices of the Georgia Health Department. It will then go to health department clinics and to private physicians Each community with its lo¬ cal health department, its local medical society, and other in¬ terested persons will make plans for the distribution and use of this vaccine within each county. No Charge for Vaccine Dr. Sellers said he estimates that about half the vaccine will be administered by local health departments and about half by private physicians. No charge will be made for the vaccine, but physicians may charge a fee for administering it. The first shipment, Dr. Sel¬ lers said, will consist af about one-third of the amount re¬ quired to give first njections to the entire eligible group. Other amounts will come later as long as the funds for purchases per¬ mit. The vaccine will be res¬ tricted to children ages one through nine and to pregnant women before the eighth month cf pregnancy. Children age.? five through nine will receive the vaccine first, /followed by these ages one through four. Program Begins in October The Committee recommended that there be no distribution of the vaccine before October. The Health Department plans to begin the new .program in Oc¬ tober immediately aifter the make-up clinics are held for about 75,000 first and second graders who have not received their vaccine as provided by the National Polio Foundation.
