The effect of Salk vaccination and neutralizing antibody level on family spread of poliovirus was studied in 55 families during the 1960 Rhode Island poliomyelitis epidemic. All 15 index families, 18 of 29 contact families and 5 of 11 noncontact families were found to have poliovirus type 1 infection. Minor illnesses occurred in 60% of the infected children having no detectable antibodies, but in only 24% with titers of 128+. Pharyngeal virus was isolated from 75% of infected children having no detectable antibodies, from 38% with titers 8 to 64 and from 25% with titers 128+. Although intra-familial spread occurred enough members of infected families irrespective of antibody titer or past immunization, extrafamilial spread was restricted to the poorly vaccinated contact families.
