The National Infantile Paralysis Foundation had purchased enough vaccine to give two doses of this product to each first and second ?rade child; naturally this would be lone only w'jh the parents' permis iion. The first vaccine for use in ,he Western area of the State arriv ed in Ashcville April 16, 1955. It vas a real ffiriH for your health of icer to be the one to receive it and jgn the air express receipt. Here vas a real protection for our chil dren against a much dreaded disease, iut the vaccine in glass ampules in i refrigerator was of no value; that accine must be properly given to our .lildren. The doctors of the Madi on County Medical Society, without nought of their already over fowded sohedules and well knowing here was no financial recompense, agreed to work-wfct the Health De partment in giving this vaccine to -irst and second grade children in jach of our nine schools. In the fall of 1955 yc-ur Health Department felt we should cfifer Mi polio vaccine to our incoming ilrst grade children, The same Madison County physicians gave this accine in our various school clinics jo these first grade children. .' Now a request ' ha'e made vy teachers and parents that this proj ection from poliomyelitis be given to apy school child up through 19 . ears of age and that clinics for do- jurihis be set vo in each school, fie; 3Ms);time war; short Wow,ytlie be zinnliiv .of eurf mUs season? your JealthCWiKuiy Aa m& Tot The Madison County faeatcai Society, Dr OUs Puck, who agreed 4 -consult i each pnyeteian member and ' report to the Health' Depart-' ment The result is the schedule you ,ee below. Every resident in this jounty should appreciate this extra service your physicians are giving to you. Doctors who give so willingly it their time to prevent illness, who serve you so unselfishly, are to be admired and respected. Madisor.
