Thq polio season is wejll under way and more cases havelbeen reported this week than in lany previous week this year. While the. total number of cases in j 1957 is below the total for the coriresponding week in 1956. the number should be lower if there is to be a drop well below 1956. Two of the cases reported this week arjc in one family and two in another!; one of the four received two doses! of Salk vaccine and is non-paralytic, the others had no vaccine a|nd are paralytic. A patient previously reported in one of these fam|lies has just died of bulbar polio.
The age group 0-4 shows the highest incidence with 13 cjases reported. In the 5-9 group there are 5 cases, 10-14 and 15-19 jhave 2 cases each, and in the group above 20 years there are 4 cases.)
No cases that have leceived three doses of Salk vaccine have been reported paralytic in Virginia this year. There is still time for those who have not had t ie vaccne to be given two doses before the peak of thq polio se;son is, reached, if it occurs at the same time as last year. The State Department of Health urges all between ages under 1 and 40 years to get two doses of Salk yaccine as promptly as possible.
