...North Carolina the state medical society took the more vigorous step - it deter mined not to turn the vaccine back, but to put it to work. When the blitz began, only about a third of an estimated 1,935,000 Tarheels eligible for the vaccine (all under 20, and pregnant women) had re ceived it. Guilford County, which had a better-than-average showing to start with (45,000 vaccinated out of 60,000-65,000 eligible), rang up 10,747 hits with the needle last week, about half of them first inoculations, the rest second.

But for some reason that researchers (including Dr. Hisaw, now at Harvard) have not fathomed, the ovaries of the pregnant sow are the best source. Fortunately some sows are pregnant when slaughtered,* and from 110,000 lbs. of sow ovaries a year the laboratories extract 100 ounces of Releasin.
