A limited and temporary preventive effect has been noted for gamma globulin used under certain conditions. There is available a supply of gamma globulin which is inadequate to meet the demand with the methods of use indicated in the light of present knowledge. All supplies of gamma globulin have been placed under the responsibility of the Office of Defense Mobilization. Supplies allocated to the state of California are being made available to physicians through their local health departments on the basis of past and current incidence of poliomyelitis for use in protecting persons in household contact with patients with diagnosed cases. The most effective use of California's allocation of this material can be expected to prevent or modify approximately 40 cases on the basis of the past five-year experience (1947-1951). Parents, physicians and health officials must know the facts and cooperate to make the best of a difficult situation.
在某些条件下使用的丙种球蛋白已显示出有限的临时预防效果。现有丙种球蛋白的供应量，按照目前所知的使用方法，不足以满足需求。所有丙种球蛋白的供应均由国防动员办公室负责。分配给加利福尼亚州的丙种球蛋白，正通过当地卫生部门提供给医生，分配依据是脊髓灰质炎过去和当前的发病率，用于保护与确诊病例的患者有家庭接触的人员。根据过去五年（1947 - 1951年）的经验，预计加利福尼亚州对这种物资的分配若得到最有效利用，可预防或减轻约40例病例。家长、医生和卫生官员必须了解实际情况并合作，以便在困难的情况下做到最好。
