Students to Be Eligible For Free Polio Shots

Free polio vaccine may become available to College students 19 years old and under, under a State law that became effective yesterday. However, the State program, at least for this spring, will furnish vaccine only to expectant mothers and children under 15.

State Department of Public Health officials were uncertain yesterday just when sufficient vaccine would become available to extend the program. Nor could they say what the State's attitude toward students with out-of-state legal residences would be.

Attorney-General George Fingold, the acting governor, signed the bill into law yesterday.
