“OUR CHILDREN”
There is nothihg in this world
that creates a greater or more
sympathetic interest than a little
child. Whether we are parents
or not, we see in the small child
the potential qualities of good
citizenship and the future of the
nation. What we are tomorrow
depends upon the children of to
day : therefore our duty as doc
tors, nurses, and parents is to try
to keep each child well that he
may have an opportunity of making
the best of life.
Communicable diseases are our
biggest problem, however, most of
them can be prevented through
immunization. Diphtheria, whoop
ing cough, smallpox, and typhoid
fever. As a whole parents and
guardians in Polk County have been
very cooperative in helping to keep
our county free from these diseases,
but we do have some children un
vaccinated—and it is to these chil
dren’s parents we appeal, maybe
you do not know the ages when a
child should receive his immuni
zations—at the age of two months
he should get his whooping cough
vaccine, at the age of six months,
diphtheria toxoid, at the age of
nine to twelve months, smallpox
vaccine, at two years of age typh
oid vsfccine.
