However, no person will be denied the vaccine because of inability to pay. The Sabin vaccine helps the body develop immunity against the three known types of polio virus which causes the disease. The vaccine works fast, usually within a week after dose is administered. Important, too, Sabin vaccine can be taken by mouth either in a dropper for infants, or in a drink, or on a cube of sugar for older children and adults. The Sabin vaccine has been given to more than 100 million people world-wid- e with satisfactory results. Even if you have had the Salk vaccine it is wise to lake the oral type as an extra margin of protection.
