MONKEYS SUCCESSFULLY VACCINATED AGAINST INFANTILE PARALYSIS
- Press Assoc'Dation
By Telegraph
Received Tuesday, 11 a.m. NEW YORK, June 24. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has announced that three medical scientists at the John Hopkins University successfully vaccinated monkeys against infantile paralysis, using a live virus. They warned, however, that while the results of the new experiment could be an effective laboratory tool, such vaccines are still too- dangerous for human use. The doctors concerned are Isabel Morgan, Howard Howe and David Bodian. They reported that the monkeys were inoculated by doses of polio virus, and then were ehallenged with lethal doses directly into the brain. The monkeys successfully resisted this challenge, which, according to the doctors making the test, was a far stiffer one than a man would naturally encounter.
