Many Cases Reported
Measles Clinics Are Being
Planned In County Next Month
Legislation enacted in April
of this year requires all North
Carolina children to be im
munized prior to age two
against measles (“red” measles
or rubeola). This then, of
course, requires school children
to be immunized prior to enter
ing school. A recent directive
from Raleigh has waived this
provision of compulsory im
munization for this current
school year, but the law will be
enforceable from next year on.
Because of a recent upsurge
in red measles in the county,
the Transylvania Health De
partment will soon be prepar
ing for a special measles cam
paign to revaccinate all chil
dren ages one through 12.
Through the State Board of
Health, a combined vaccine of
“red” and “German” measles
will be made available free of
charge, for the local public
health personnel to administer
by jet gun.
The Transylvania County
Medical Society has endorsed
this special “double measles”
eradication campaign, and
urges all parents of school ages
one through 12 to have their
children receive the vaccine in
the clinics during the first week
