5-Year-Old Girl Is
Victim Os Tetanus
Health Officer Says
Death From Disease
Preventable
Doris Coston, 5, daughter of Da
vid Coston of Edenton, died April
29 from tetanus. The Health De
partment is deeply hurt to learn
of the death of a child from pre
ventable diseases in the health dis
trict. Doris had had no vaccina
tions or immunizations.
“We wonder how many other
children are not being protected
from serious illness or death from
tetanus, whooping cough and diph
theria,” asks Dr. B. B. McGuire,
District Health Officer. “Frequent
ly in our pre-school clinics the mo
ther tells us that neither her pre
school child nor any of her young
er brothers and sisters have had
any vaccinations. In this fact, far
too many seem to take delight, or
surely show to us no feeling of re
gret that they have for five years
J taken a big chance of losing their
child or children to one of these
I fatal and or maiming diseases,
“Perhaps they feel that Provid
ence will take care of them. We
can only say that Providence wilt
do its share if the parents will do
theirs.
j “For many years every child in
j North Carolina is required by State
law to he immunized against diph
theria and whooping cough during
the first year of life. Most doc
tors and the Health Department al
so give the triple vaccine which in
cludes tetanus, from which little
Doris died.
“Most all doctors in our district
will he glad to give your baby this
life saving vaccine. State law re
quires that the doctor who gives,
the vaccine send a copy of his cer
tificate to the Health Department
for filing. His secretary can easi
ly fill out the certificate, one copy,
fur you and one for the Health De
| partment. Please he sure to send
us our copy. He will filll it out
■ if you insist on it.
j "In the writer’s more than 15
1 years in public health only one doc
, tor has sent these certificates to
, the Health Department regularly!
Unfortunately, he is not in our
| Health District. * •’
