Lawrence, and unanimously carried:- "Due to the lateness of the season, Dr. Norton is requested to send a telegram on April 11, 1954 cancelling the program for the use of experimental Salk Polio vaccine in North Carolina for the 1954 season. This is in accordance with an agreement concluded with the local health officers and the representatives of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis made on March 19, 1954. To begin at this time of year would not give the vaccine a fair trial." Additional notes: Due to a unanimous action taken by the State Board of Health on April 8, 1954 confirming the recommendation made on March 19th by the health officers most concerned Secretary Norton was authorized to release a telegram to Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, Medical Director of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraylsis, in which he advised that as the polio season will already be underway in North Carolina before the end of the five week period for giving inoculations, that the Board had decided not to use the Salk vaccine this year but to release North Carolina's proposed allotment to some other state with a later seasonal peak. The press release of April 11th follows: "Dr. J. W, R. Norton, Secretary and State Health Officer, today released a telegram to Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, Medical Director of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, in which he advised that as the polio season will already be underway in North Carolina before the end of the five-week period for giving inoculations, it has been decided not to use the Salk vaccine this year but to release North Carolina's proposed allotment to some state with a later seasonal peak. This action on Dr. Norton's part was unanimously authorized by the State Board of Health in its April 8th session. "Previously it had been tentatively agreed to try out this new vaccine beginning February 8th, With ten days to two weeks necessary for preparation after official notification of availability, April 10th was the latest deadline which seemed feasible. The decision just referred to was reached by Dr. Norton, certain members of his staff, representatives of the National Foundation, and the Health Officers in counties which were to participate, at a conference on March 19th. "In following his telegram to Dr. Van Riper, Dr. Norton pointed out that the upsurge of polio in North Carolina usually begins during April or May and the peak is reached during July. Even when the decision was made to try out the vaccine those giving it consideration were hesitant due to the fact that the closing of schools is so near. However, is was agreed that it would be given a trial if assurance was received that a supply would be ready for use during the school week of April 20th, following official notification not later than April 10th. In his telegram to Dr. Van Riper, Dr. Norton Said: " 'Since polio season already underway request no Salk polio vaccine be sent to North Carolina. Better use can be made of this scarce vaccine by using it in a state with a later seasonal peak.' "The counties affected are: New Hanover, Caldwell, Catawba, Durham, Guilford, Rockingham and Buncombe."
