Swine Flu Immunization Slated Here
Edward A. Morton, Madison County
acting health director, has announced
that the first shipment of swine flu
vaccine will be available in Madison
County Oct. 17. Madison County Health
Department will hold a swine flu mass
immunization clinic on Opt. 17 from l to
5 p.m. at Madison High School.
Bivalent flu vaccine will be available
for high risk people who are 60 years of
age and older and for people who are
chronically ill. A split-bivalent vaccine
will be available for children ages 3 to 17
who are chronically ill. Those children
who receive the split-bivalent vaccine
will need another immunization in four
weeks. Bivalent vaccine provides
protection against swine flu and A
Victoria, a type of flu common in past
flu seasons.
Monovalent vaccine will be available
to anyone between the ages of 18 and 60.
Persons who are 18 through 24,
however, may need a second dose of the
vaccine. Monovalent vaccine provides
protection only against swine flu, a new
type of flu expected this fall and winter.
*
The next shipment of swine flu
vaccine is expected to be available to
Madison County in November. -

MADISON HIGH students
patiently awaiting to get their
temperatures taken prior to
donating blood during the
bloodmobile visit here Friday. j
BLOOD DONORS are shown
giving blood last Friday during the
bloodmobile visit at Madison High
School. The visit, sponsored by the
Marshall Lion's Club, netted 83
pints.
Bloodmobile Visit
Friday Nets 83 Pints
The Moodmobile visit st
Madison High School last
Friday was one of the most
successful trips ever made by
the American Red Cross,
according to officials of the
Marshall Lion's Club who
sponsored the visit
Eighty-three pints of blood
waft donated and 90 persons
who were willing to give blood
were not accepted, due to
various physical reasons
Members of the Lion 's Club
staUd that they were "ex
tremely pleased" with the
number who visited the school
to give blood. "Many more
pints of blood would have been
donated if it had not been for
the inclement weather which
kept many persons away. Too,
a pep rally and the ex
pectations of a football game
Friday night also lessened
student participation although
many students donated blood
anyway," one Lion official
stated.
"We appreciate the fine
cooperatoin of everyone and
the firms and organisations
which participated. Especially
do we commend the all-out
efforts of Deringer
Manufacturing Co., French
Broad Electric Membership
Corporation and the State
Highway Maintenance
Department. This points out
the awareness of the im
portance of the blood program
and the willingness to par
ticipate," the Lion official
said.
The local assistance of many
ladies and men also greatly
aided the staff and nurses of
the bloodmobUe unit.
It is hoped that with the
growing interest in this worthy
project that more than 100
pints will be donated on the
bloodmobile's next visit.

Unregistered Residents
May Vote For President
Miss Sharon Ray, executive
secretary to the Madison
County Board of Elections,
announced this week that
federal law permits any
person who has not registered
to vote, but is a resident of
Madison County, to vote the
presidential ballot. However,
this is NOT permitted on
election day. Unregistered
Madison County residents
desiring to vote for a
presidential candidate should
write or call the Board of
Elections at M9-3731.
OTHER IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
Those expecting to be absent
on election day may go to the
office of the Madison County
Board of Elections, located on
Main Street, Marshall, make
application for and vote by
absentee ballot all in one stop.
Those that are disabled or ill
and therefore unable to go to
the polls, may send a near
relative (spouse, parent, child,
brother, sister, grandchild, or
grandparent) to the board's
office to make application to
them. Once the application
made by the near relative is
approved by the board, ballots
will be mailed immediately to
the voter. Also, a near relative
may apply for a voter who
expects to be absent on elec
tion day.
An alternate procedure
permits the voter or the voter's
near relative to write to the
Board of Elections requesting
that an application for ab
sentee ballots be mailed to
him. This request must state
the reason the voter needs to
vote sn absentee ballot, such
as illness or sbsence and must
bear a legible signature.
The deadline to apply for
absentee ballots is Wed
nesday, Oct 27, closing at 6
p.m. There will not be any
applications issued after the
deadline, except for an illness
occurring after the deadline.
In other words, a request
received for an application on
the day of the deadline is too
late. All applications (not
requests for applications)
must be received by the board
no later than the aforemen
tioned deadline.
The Board of Elections will
meet every Monday and
Friday at the office at 10 a.m.
to consider applications for
absentee ballots, provided an
application has been received.
The board urges those
desiring to vote by absentee
ballot not to wait until the last
minute to apply. An early
application will ensure against
technical error.
