"There has been a rise during the last two years in the incidence rates of paralytic poliomyelitis in the United States," stressed Dr. Greenberg. "The rate in 1958 was about 50 per cent higher than that for 1957, and in 1959 about 80 per cent higher than that in 1958. If 1959 is compared with the low year of 1957, the increase is about 170 per cent.
"In the fall of 1955, Dr. Langmuir had predicted that by 1957 there would be less than 100 cases of paralytic polio in the United States," commented Dr. Ratner. "Four years and 300 million doses df Salk vaccine later, we had in 1959 approximately 6,000 cases of paralytic polio, 1,000 of which were in per- sons who had received three and more shots of Salk vaccine. Salk vaccine hasn't lived up to expectations."
Dr. Sabin says the number of cases in 1960 was less than in 1959, but that 23 per cent are now occurring in persons who have had three or more doses of Salk vaccine.
