Many Immune
Although the numerical relation is unknown, it is certain that for every per- son paralysed or killed by polio many others contract the disease but do not be- come seriously ill. Thereafter they are immune to the type of polio virus their system successfully over- came. Three different types of polio have been identified in the United States and the Salk vaccine gives immunity to each.
Dr Payne says studies indicate that in backward regions almost every
child
is infected with pollo virus at an early age and there. after apparently enjoys a natural immunity. This high infection rate might not be reached in highly developed countries, he continues, until early adult life-per- haps accounting for the fact polio tends to strike a. larger number of older persons in such countries.
›
"There is actually more poliomyelitis infection in tropical and sub-tropical re- gions where there is rela- tively little clinical disease than there is in tem- perate zones where severe epidemics occur," Dr Payne maintains.
Support
The
situation in Israel supperts this belief. Large numbers of persons arriving from temperate regions de- velop far higher clinical in- fection rates than similar
in groups
their home countries.
At present Canada and Denmark are the only countries outside the United States with mass vaccine inoculation programme under way. Both manufac- ture their own vaccine.
In France the Pasteur: Institute is developing a vaccine similar to Dr Salk's and plans to test it soon. Both Norway and Switzer- land hope to start vaccina- tion campaigns as 8000 65 vaccine becomes-available from United States manu- facturers, Sweden expects to inoculate a million persons with its own vaccine · next year.
