Dear Mr. Si =n:
As you recall, on April 15, 1957 at the inauguration
of our poll. vaccination program to immunize against polio
all childr from six months through high school, we had
requested that the orders be placed without bids as the
polio vaccine was in short supply and that the vaccine is
manufactured by six biological houses in the United States.
The price t. health departments (through arrangements with
the United states Public Health Service) is uniform. there-
fore, no ad - .tags will be gained in advertising for bids.
Also that die to the shortness of supplies we of necessity
have to obt- n the vaccine from anyone of those houses as
it becomes =vailable and is released to each state based
on populati.n.
The or. ginal order for four thousand five hundred
(4,500) vi Is requested in April, was only partially
filled by .e Eli Lilly Company. It is, therefore, nec-
essary that the additional supply be obtained from the
various so.. ces as it becomes available for release in
this terra try. We are now assured of seven hundred
(700) vial= of vaccine allotted to this area which is
available A, ough the Twin City Wholesale Drug Company.
We sh= 1 appreciate it very much if you will author-
ize the p' chase of this vaccine as per requisition num-
ber 4903 which you now have in your possession, as our
supply on hand is sufficient only for the remainder of
this weeks use in our clinics, and no other vaccine is
presently available in the Twin City area. The Twin
City Drug Company promised to hold the vaccine for us
for another few days and if not contracted for they
will be obliged to send it out to other sources which
will mean that St. Paul would not have any vaccine for
use in our clinics for quite some time.
