Date Of Production
1955
Abstract
Children in Chicago are shown receiving the new polio vaccine in a portion of a newsreel produced by Telenews. There is a short message discussing the vaccine and its availability.
Description
Officers from the Cook County Sheriff's police unit escort many children and their parents to a location where they receive an injection in the arm to prevent polio. The footage is mostly silent, but ends with sound, as an unidentified official says that as long as we administer the "million one hundred thousand doses," polio will not become an epidemic. He goes on to say it is difficult to get the amount of doses of the vaccine needed to prevent polio.
