Dr. A. J. Eller, county health
officer, said today that a number
of diphtheria ca.ses have been re
ported in widely separated sec
tions ot Wilkes county, sufficient
in number to cause considerable
anxiety among parents.
However, he said that there is
no immediate threat ot an epi
demic of the disease, which he
described as 85 per cent prevent
able thro igb vaccination and par
ticularly urged that parents have
their babies vaccinated when they
reach the age ot six months. Any
children who have not been vac
cinated should be at the earliest
possible date, te said, because
several weeks must elapse before
the vaccination makes the child
i.mmiine. Those 'vho are in doubt
relative to the effectiveness of
previous vaccinatlous may have
the Schick test administered. The
test tellBMioncluslvely whether or
not a 'child is immune to the di
sease.
