Bellon, Bel-lon, Duchesne Co., polio chapter chairman, has announced clinics for giving polio shots in various communities. People should act now. Clinics are also planned for Duchesne Du-chesne and Tabiona, but definite dates have not been set. They will be announced as soon as they can be determined. Ample Vaccine Ample vaccine is available and first, second, and third shots will be given. First shots to those who have not yet received vaccine, second shots to those who have had their first shot for at least two weeks, and third shots to those who received their second shot seven or more months ago A charge of 250 per shot will be made to help defray expenses. Salt vaccine is available free of charge in the state through the State Board of Health and with this nominal charge for administration adminis-tration of the vaccine, people of the county are given the opportunity opport-unity for a rare bargain and everyone every-one of the priority age group is urged to take advantage of this excellent opportunity. The clinics were made possible pos-sible through the cooperation of Dr. R. V. Larson, Dr. Paul G. Stringham, Dr. John Smith from Duchesne, Miss Pope and the Du chesne County Polio Chapter. The Doctors pointed out that there is every assurance that the vaccine I is safe and it has proven so suc cessful that Polio Vaccination will be continued throughout the polio period. The advantage of receiving receiv-ing the shots are so great that no parent should hesitate to have their children receive the vaccine during this period. There is no more risk in an inoculation with Salk vaccine than in -an ordinary typhoid shot or a vaccination against small pox, and there is risk in allowing a child to go through the annual polio season unprotected by the vaccine Mr. Bellon points out that there are 13 new polio cases in the state and none of the 13 have had polio shots This should be a grim reminder for us to act now. |
