...Bethesda, Md. campus to study reports of the oral vaccines' safety, potency and effectiveness. The evidence for the panel, headed by PHS's Dr. Roderick Murray, was confusing and often contradictory. The consensus: while live-virus vaccines, taken by mouth (as distinct from the killed-virus, Salk-type vaccine, which must be injected), are indeed promising, there is little chance that any will be licensed for general U.S. use until next summer or later...

Toward the Ideal. Many of the recorded failures of Salk vaccination (17% of paralysis victims last year had had three or more shots) were explained by Vaccinventor Jonas E. Salk himself. The commercial vaccine, he declared unequivocally, is only 50% effective (on the average) after a single shot. By simple arithmetic, he argued that two shots would be 75% effective, and three shots, 87.5%. Dr. Salk contrasted this with the efficacy of the hand-tooled vaccine made with craftsman care in his University of Pittsburgh laboratories: 90% effective after one shot, 99% after two, and 99.9% after three. Commercial vaccine...

...Maurice R. Hilleman reported that his company (Merck Sharp & Dohme) just happens to have an improved vaccine handy-not yet as potent as Dr. Salk's ideal, but far better than the commercial average: 91% of vaccinated children were protected by only two shots, a month apart, said Dr. Hilleman. Merck has a licensing application on file in Washington, and wants Government action on it before this year's polio season advances...

...live-virus men were sure that they had the only means of wiping out both polio and the viruses that cause it. Dr. Salk was sure that killed vaccines have a great future, against many viral diseases besides polio, and can be raised to one-shot effectiveness. After listening to all the arguments, Dr. Cox grumbled with some justification: "The only things you can be sure of are death, taxes and criticism." Said Dr. Bodian: "Maybe we have too many vaccines against polio...
