Kenny Foundation Sponsoring
New Polio Oral Vaccine Tests
Minneapolis, Minn.—The end of polio world wide is in sight but dm
final battle still must be fought, according to Marvin L. Kline, na
tional executive director of the Sister Kenny foundation.
- A recent international conference in Washington, D.C., of oat
standing polio scientists from 20 nations brought their combined Wfr
dom to bear on live virus polio vaccines which can be taken by mouth
instead of injection and which, it is agreed, have many advantages
over the killed-virus vaccine now in wide use in the United States.
The meeting was under the joint sponsorship of die Kenny
foundation and the Pan American Health Organization of
the World Health Organization. It was agreed that BOfflS
problems in connection with the live, virus vaccines must be
worked out yet and a second international meeting is planned
to assess further tests and trials with the product.
Three different types of such vaccines, all developed in this
country, already have been tried upon more than five million people
in various countries of the world with seeming success. Control teste
in the United States, Kline said, have been confined for the most part (
to the University of Minnesota under joint sponsorship of the Kenny j
foundation and the Minnesota State Department of Health.
A 1958 test at the university led to mass tests that summer m
Colombia and Nicaragua. In a 1959 test members of student families
were fed all three strains of live polio virus in a single dose •£
cherry flavored liquid. Results of this still are being assessed.
The live virus vaccine is weakened to the point where *t
protects without giving the disease by passage through a
variety of tissue materials. It is much cheaper to produce
than the killed virus vaccine and can be administered with
greater ease. ‘ ^
The vaccines are not licensed yet for use in the United States
although several other nations now are using them, Kline declared.
The next year or so should give a definite answer for all countries.
Meanwhile, Kline said, staff and facilities of the Kenny founda
tion remain geared to deal with such polio outbreaks as may occur.
Until die final battle is won, the fight against this dread cripp&|g
disease must continue with determined vigor, he added.
