Sabin-type vaccine got a different type of test in Singapore when it was hit by a polio epidemic last August. British-trained Professor James Hale decided to work with Sabin's Type II vaccine. All the polio occurring was of Type I. If any Type II disease showed up, it would be almost certainly due to faulty vaccine. But while Type II vaccine is supposed to give 100% protection only against Type II disease, it is claimed to give about 60% protection against Type I also.
