Port Perry Public School Children Receive Poliomyelitis Vaccine i) The Provirice "of Ontario," in co- operation with your local Board of Health, and M.O,H. Dr. Rennie, is pro- viding a vaccine which has been de- finitely established as a 909, préven- tative for poliomyelitis, If the disease is contracted the effects are very very slight. The safety of the vaccine has been thoroughly established in areas where it has been given experiment- ally. The immediate after effects of the injection ate nil. The vaccine is injected in the arm in three doses; the first two doses are given at least four weeks apart and the last dose seven to ten months af- ter the second dose. On Friday, April 22nd, 1956: Dr. Rennie administered Vaccine to Grad- es I and IT pupils at the Port Perry Public School. The preventative may be given only after a written request 'has been received from the parents. Dr. Renhie MOH, is well-pleased with the response in Port Perry where 9697 9% of the pupils in Grades I'and IT' took the vaccine on Friday. The doctor and his assistant nurse gave the vac- cine to seventy pupils in about one hour and fifteen minutes. Perhaps the receptive mood which the children exhibited was due to the proper atti- tude developed for the pupils by their teachers, the doctor and -the nurse and perhaps the anticipation of receiving a candy- bar ag provided for each pupil through the generosity of the chairman of The Public School Board, Dr. D. C. Mac- Master. As there is a limited supply of .the vaccine Grade III is the only other Grade to receive it at this time.
