Of Swine Flu Vaccine On Volunteers Begins By ANDREW BEIERLE Sentinel Star Staff Testing of the swine influenza vaccine on 200 government volunteers began Wednesday in Washington, the first step toward implementing President Ford's $135 million nationwide immunization program after swift congressional approval of the plan. The first trial shot was given by Dr. Theodore Cooper, assistant secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, to Dr. Harry M. Meyer of the Food and Drug Administration.

COOPER was then given the second inoculation by another doctor before a packed news conference at the National Institutes of Health.

CARTER CONDUCTED a fact-finding session Wednesday to review a list of 42 deficiencies cited by agents who investigated the facility. He also went over plans by the home's owner, American Medical Affiliates to correct the problems. The alleged shortcomings included lack of procedures to take care of communicable diseases, absence of criteria for reporting potential infections and failure to show physician visits at least every 30 days on three patients' records. Other deficiencies charged were in kitchen cleanliness, sanitary techniques and administrative matters.

CARTER SAID he will review the reports further with his staff and make a recommendation to Dr. E.

Sentinel Star 0-0 9-D Orlando, Florida Thursday, Apr. 22, 1976 responsibility that the vaccine is safe and prevents outbreaks of swine flu. That is the purpose of the clinical trials, he added. Meanwhile, Dr.

Robert Mendelsohn, assistant to the director of Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, expressed concern about the mass immunizations. MENDELSOHN, whose syndicated column runs in the Sentinel Star, questioned whether every effort was being made to insure that the vaccine is free from contaminants. "The first polio vaccine, marketed in 1955, was composed of polio virus, which was supposed to be killed by formaldehyde. In some cases, the virus was improperly treated and the live virus caused almost 200 cases of paralytic polio," he said. Wayne Pines, spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration, said there is no possibility of anyone contracting the flu from the vaccine.

"ALL THE usual quality control standards, which are higher than those in use in 1955, will be in effect," Pines said. He said the Food and Drug Administration also will certify all shipments. Mendelsohn also questioned the possibility of the vaccine's side effects on pregnant women and pre-school age children. BOTH Pines and Don Barreth, a spokesman for the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta said there have not been any side effects on pregnant women or their unborn babies in the history of other influenza immunization programs. They said they did not expect any with this plan.

The American Academy of Pediatrics announced that tests similar to those conducted today will be performed later this month to determine the proper dose schedule and age limit for vaccine in children. Pines said special precautions will be taken to insure that the large shipments of vaccine will be properly transported and refrigerated SO they remain safe and effective until they are used. The vaccine should be ready for use in the fall, just prior to the winter flu season and will provide immunity for up to six months "at a fairly high level," diminishing in effectiveness afterwards, Barreth said.
