Paralytic polio could strike Oregon children in large num– bers this summer . beca·use only 50 per cent of them are adequately immunized against·the crippling disease. Dr. Edward Press. Oregon State public health officer. has warned. Dr. Press cited recent sur– veys of first graders in 10 Oregon counties. including Multnomah and Washington. which showed an ·average immunity level against polio of 50 per cent. with a high of 64 per cent and a low of 23 percent. "It's alarming to think one– half of our children aren't safe from polio in an age where the disease can be pre– vented by a few feedings of oral vaccine." Dr. Press said. "Apparently, many parents have forgotten the years be– fore polio vaccine was de– veloped when the disease killed and crippled thou– sands of children during epi– demics."
