North Carolina Board of Health 23 desires, and we should work as rapidly as we can toward bringing polio vaccine into the same category as other immunizing agents. Dr. Dixon recommended that Dr. Foard's office get out a letter to every physician in the State, stating that the use of polio vaccine is approved by the State Board of Health to be administered to any and all children or people; that the State Board of Health advocates, recommends, or suggests that they get those in their practice immunized before May; that the vaccine is available to them through commercial houses. A letter like that might make some of the doctors begin to think, Dr. Dixon said. Another suggestion was that the State Board of Health buy an extra ten or twenty percent at the present time, in order to get it to the other people, with the approval of the Governor's Advisory Committee. Dr. Foard proposed that the State Board of Health buy all the available vaccine and furnish it, free, through local health departments, to all physicians requesting it, with the understanding that they make no charge for that vaccine but any charge deemed proper for administering it. Dr. Rousseau said he thought the medical profession would object to Dr. Foard's proposal that vaccine be provided free. Dr. Bender moved, "that the State Board of Health go on record as recommending to the North Carolina Advisory Committee on Poliomyelitis Vaccine that the backlog of 160,251 ccs. of vaccine which is part of the 70% allocation to commercial channels for this State and now in the hands of the manufacturers and not being called for by wholesale druggists or private physicians in the State, be made available for purchase by the State Board of Health for distribution to local health departments." Dr. Lawrence amended this motion and it was accepted by Dr. Bender,—"provided, that such parts of this vaccine as requested and needed by private physicians for their own private patients, be made available to them at no cost for the vaccine as long as it is available." Motion seconded by Mrs. Latta as amended, and carried without dissent. Dr. Rousseau said that he did not think the medical profession could object to free vaccine, if they were at liberty to make a charge for administration. Dr. Haywood stated that as he has been on the Board 23 years, is in bad health and has been retired from active practice for two years, it was his intention to offer his resignation to the Governor. He submitted a list of suggestions which, he said, might simplify and enhance the Board's efficient deliberations. (Recommendations filed in Minute Book) Dr. Lawrence expressed the hope that Dr. Haywood would delay his resignation for a little while, till the completion of his present term (May, 1957) if not a hazard to his health. Dr. Dixon said it was his opinion Dr. Haywood has done as much as, or more than, any other member of the Board of Health, or any member of the State Medical Society to promote the public and general health and welfare, or any other man in the whole State of North Carolina. Mr. Jarrett suggested and recommended a substitute resolution, repealing the resolution adopted at the last meeting, with reference to the Enon Sanitary District. Mr. Byrd, a lawyer representing the district, was pre-
