General Information
The Plan!
On February 29th and again on May 16th, go to any of the announced stations,
walk up to the table, take a cube of sugar, and eat it, drop your money in the box,
take a card as your record of the immunization and leave. All this should take half
a minute or less.
How Much Will the Vaccine Cost Me?
There is no tax money available to buy the vaccine. We must collect enough to pay
the cost. we are asking 75c for each dose. If you cannot afford this much, pay what-
ever you can even if it is only a dime. The actual cost per dose is about 40c but we
must ask 75c a dose to be able to give the vaccine to those who cannot pay.
Which Oral Vaccine is being used? The new trivalent vaccine named, Orimune.
Each dose produces protection against all 3 types of polio. Two doses are required
for complete immunity. This vaccine costs more than other oral vaccines, but we feel
that it has certain important advantages which justify its use.
How is the Vaccine Given?
Two drops of vaccine are put on a cube of sugar which you eat. There is no taste
to the vaccine.
Can I Take the Vaccine Home to other Member of my Family?
No. The vaccine loses its potency too quickly for this. Each person must go to a sta-
tion to take the vaccine.
What About Those Who Have Received Previous Salk Polio Shots?
A complete series of two feedings of this trivalent oral vaccine is recommended re-
gardless of any previous shots.
Where Can I get Additional Information?
Additional information will be released through newspapers, TV, and radio or call
your family physician or the County Health Department (phone: 224-0181).
