DR. MELNICK: From your data, Dr. Ramos<br />

Alvarez, you indicated that in Mexico City you<br />

expected 75 cases in the 17 per cent vaccinated.<br />

Instead of findings 75 did you observe 18?<br />

DR. RAMOS ALVAREZ: This is right.<br />

DR. MELNICK: Calculated on this basis, do we<br />

not arrive at an effectiveness rate of about 80<br />

DR. RAMOS ALVAREZ: If you wish to take it<br />

CHAIRMAN LÉPINE: We have the figures. Are<br />

there any other remarks? If not, we shall now<br />

change continents, leaving America and going to<br />

Russia. The next paper is by Professor Chumakov<br />

and his associates entitled "On the Course<br />

of Mass Immunization of the Population in the<br />

Soviet Union with the Live Poliovirus Vaccine<br />

from Albert B. Sabin's Strains." The presentation<br />

of this paper will be made by Dr. Voroshilova.
