There would be no charge, Such distribution possibly would be feasible following conclusion of the present vaccination programme being carried on by Medical Officers of Health, This programme, started by the provincial government in 1955, in all probability will be completed by next June, Any new policy, however, would naturally depend japon ee of the vaccine, By making. polio vaccine available to the get enough en'ries medical profession, Dr, Phillips said, the Ontario Government would simply be following the policy in effect in the case of other biological products such as diphtheria toxoid, The other products are now available to Medical Officers of Health and to medical practitioners, The latter can obtain these biologicals free of charge by applying directly to the Ontario Departiment of Health or to the health departments in whose jurisdiction they practice, if such dep- artments or tnits maintain distribution depots for their own areas, As for the safety of the commercial products processed in the United States and now sold in Canada to medical practitioners, Dr, Phillips said he had been assured by officials of the Department of National Health (cont'd, next column) Page 4 (Cont'd, from last colum) if and Welfare just a few weeks ago that a sample from every batch of the imported vaccine is sent ot the Virology Laboratory at Ottawa where it is tested in exactly the same manner as similar samples from the University of Toronto's Connaught Laborat- ories, sole source of Ontario's supply of vaccine so far, ren TO THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF TERRACE BAY, we say good-bye, Living here and assoc~ iating. with you has been an experience we will always remember, And while we say good~bye for now, we sincerely hope our paths may cross again.
