| An •greemeirt been readied
by U>* manufacturers of Asian influenza
vaccine with the U. &■
Public Health Service by which
each state will, according to iU
population, receive • percentage
of the vaccine as it Is produced
This fact was revealed by the local
health department this week.
S From the amount available in
each state, each physician ha* ordered
or Is ordering what he needs
in his practice to tabs car* of those
persons whose services are essential,
and certain other persons—infants,
aged, and chroaicaiiy ill—
who should he given first priority
for the vaccine. It is not expected
that the supply will soon catch up
with the demand so that anyone
who wants it may receive it, hut
the following groups are urged to
get it Just as soon as possible and
therefore should contact their
family physician:
1. Medical and hospital personnel
engaged in caring for the sick;
2. Persons engaged in essential
public services, as firemen, policemen,
public utilities, transportation
and communication;
3. Persons with special medical
problems such as heart eondltlMs
or tuberculosis;
4. Infant* under I year of age
and the aged;
5. fugimi women.
No public clinics will be hald
at the Health Department offloas
for giving this vaccine.
The announcement said: "Since
we definitely face the probability
of a large epidemic due to this
Asian strain of Influenza for which
oat population has no immunity,
there being no cross immunity between
this and other types of thfluemas,
wo are fortunate to h«*e
a limited supply of *>is specific
vaccine avsilable so that essential
services will net be taterrupted In
sny community. It is being produced
commercially as rspidly as
possible.
"It Is expected thst this vaccine
will be given entirely by the private
physician unless s person is
referred to the Health Department
by some agency because ha Is anable
to pay foe it. Only a vary
limited amount of the vaccine will
be kept at the Health Department
and than a small charge wlit be
made to cover the coat of Um vaccina.
There is no free vaccine.
Contact your family physician that
ha may know how much vaccina
to order. At it takes two to three
WOOks to develop immunity, it ia
hoped the first priority groups will
have built up protection before the
communities in our area experience
an epidemic
"To date, although some studies
are being made, no positive diagnosis
of a case of Asiatic influenza
has been made in this tri-coimty
health district, although a few
cases have been seen by private
physicians which may have beea
Asiatic influents. Complications
are rare ia this disease unless a
person is already chronically iU.
Although the patient is quits sick
for a period of two or throe days
fair deaths arr reported. The public
is urged to follow as gooft
general health practice* as possible
to keep good general resistance.
