THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., NOVEMBER ONE GENT IS COST OF NEW VACCINE Bits of Chick Embryo Are Substituted for Calf Lymph in Tests. BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Science Editor. NEW YORK, November 2.—One cent a dose is the cost of making the new Rockefeller scarless smallpox vaccine—the vaccine produced in a little glass bottle instead of from the body of a calf. 7 Promised in it is a means to end for good the public opposition to smallpox vaccination which still ex- ists in some sections. This is the end, too, not only of scars, but of pain, sores, mild llness and risk of tetanus. 3 X l .

The specks were bits of chick em- | bryo—substitutes for the mass of a | living calf—taken completely sterile {from a hen's egg. This sanitary | purity is the secret of the new vacine’s success.

It is very nice for public health officers to have the evidence of the scar. Records are difficult to get. A number of health officers have expressed the same opinion.” To this Dr. Rivers replied: “In some alf lymph (ordinary vaccine) very popular. If you get vac- cine not so very popular, if you get vaccine not so objectionable. health officers might be able to vaccinate entire communities. In spite of calf lymph. there is still smallpox in the United States.” 3 y 3 The duration of immunity from the 4 H > ] mfort an “ver coi L n this choice ¢ v new vaccine is not known.
