31 CASES TYPHOID
IN COUNTY IN 1938,
36 OF DIPHTHERIA
In Halifax County during the1
year of 1938 there were thirty-one
cases of typhoid fever with four
deaths, and thirty-six cases of
diphtheria with three deaths. It is
needless to say that these four
deaths from typhoid fever and the
three deaths from diphtheria were
unnecessary. There are now ways
of preventing typhoid fever and
diphtheria, and deaths from these
diseases, if only the public would
avail themselves of the opportunity
to receive the simple vaccination,
which is free to everybody.
It is the desire of the Halifax
County Health Department that ev
ery person from six months old to
five years old have at least one
dose of the diphtheria vaccination,
and every person from two-and
one-half years old up have the ty
phoid vaccination.
At the following points through
out the county vaccination against
the above diseases will be given
free to all:
