Polio Vaccine
Supply for 4
Counties Here
Vaccine for the Taylor County
Salk polio vaccination program ar-
rived by private plane Friday aft-
ernoon. The West Texas Utilities
plane, piloted by Russell Crownov-
er, brought vaccination for Taylor,
Jones, Haskell and Fisher Counties.
The program in Abilene will start
at 8 a.m. Wednesday at the vari-
ous schools, an Abilene-Taylor
County health unit spokesman said
Friday.
All students will be required to
have a parental request slip before
they are eligible for the shot. If
they attended schools in Abilene
last year the slips will be on file at
the same place they are to take
the shots this coming week.
If students attended private
schools last year, they are urged
to get the slip that is on file there
and have it ready for presentation
when they go to take their shot.
About 5,000 students are expected
to receive shots through the pro-
gram. Speed in giving the shots
will be a must in order that vol-
unteer help will not have to be
away from their offices and homes
too long. Dr. Hugh J Stennis, di- |
rector of the city-county health unit
said.
