Certainly one of your selections should have been displaced by Dr. Albert Sabin, developer of one of the greatest humanitarian gifts to the world in many years-an orally administered vaccine for polio. Does he not rank somewhere in the list...
...supplement at first, but not necessarily to replace, Dr. Jonas E. Salk's killed vaccine, the PHS Committee on Live Poliovirus Vaccine selected the live but attenuated strains developed by the University of Cincinnati's Dr. Albert Bruce Sabin. Whereas the Salk vaccine's virus particles are inactivated so that they cannot multiply, much less cause disease, the Sabin vaccine's viruses are expected to multiply. In this way, they cause a harmless infection. They do this in the digestive tract and render this part of the body an unsuitable seeding ground for future invasions...
Capsule or Teaspoon. The Sabin vaccine, which, like the Salk, is grown in monkey kidney cells, has been tested on a small scale in the U.S. but used wholesale in the U.S.S.R., where almost 80 million people have now taken it in various forms and on different dosage schedules. Full protection against all three types of polio requires three virus strains, one of each type. Dr. Sabin has tried giving them separately at short intervals, as well as in a three-in-one dose. Best results to date have been with the spaced, single-type doses, and it is expected...
Import Later. Lederle officials, who have invested $13 million in developing the Cox product, were stunned by the PHS endorsement of Sabin vaccine, which was financed by March of Dimes funds and had the powerful support of the National Foundation. Also stunned was Dr. Hilary Koprowski, an early Lederle worker on the vaccine, now at Philadelphia's Wistar Institute. At issue was the question whether the Sabin vaccine was indeed safer than the Cox and Koprowski varieties, as the PHS implied...
...Biggest consumer of an oral vaccine, mad locally to Sabin specifications, is the U.S.S.R. where 50 million people aged 2 to 20 have already had it, and 30 million more are scheduled to get it this year...
