Most of it has been shipped and used al ready, but on hand was enough vaccine for about a million shots. An additional batch of 350,000 cc., ready for shipping, was held back to give the PHS time to reappraise its own reappraisal...
...testing procedures worked out by Dr. Jonas E. Salk and adopted as standard by the Public Health Service. To "kill" or (more precisely) inactivate the virus, a formaldehyde solution is added to it. Typically, one cubic centimeter of this is enough to kill the virus in 4,000 cc. of culture. After about , three days only one particle out of 10 million will be left active. In an effort to eliminate even this last particle, the process is continued for as long as 14 days...
...week's end, about 2,000,000 kids had had the needle, and 2,500,000 more doses of vaccine (1 cc. each) had been shipped to inoculation centers. This was enough to give the first shot to half the 9,000,000 children whom the foundation will vaccinate free (TIME, April 25). By June 1, officials are confident, the foundation will have enough vaccine for both shots for all 9,000,000. Until then, there will be no more allocations of vaccine for commercial distribution and use in doctors' offices...
...another. Originally, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis had intended to offer the vaccine in a series of three closely spaced shots within five weeks of each other, as was done in last year's nationwide test. On that basis, the foundation ordered 27 million cc. of vaccine last winter (TIME, Nov.1). This amount was to be given free to some 9,000,000 (children and pregnant women) most threatened by polio. At the same time, the manufacturing companies also decided to make an identical amount of vaccine on their own account, to be sold commercially. But last week...
...overanxious pitmen poured too much oil into Associated Press the Jag. Its plugs fouled, it fumed and sputtered while Phil Hill's white Ferrari nibbled at the lead. Carefully coached by Oldtimer René Dreyfus (TIME, March 14), the Arnolt-Bristol team nursed their little (1,971 cc.) roadsters along, willing to settle for high honors in their own class. Manhattan Clothes Designer John Weitz, one of the few who had driven his car all the way from New York to Sebring, was pushing the Bristols hard with his chunky. 1,991-cc. Morgan. But by now, everyone...
