Health Dept.Proclaims
Healthy Baby Week
May 13-19 is being procl
aimed as Healthy Baby Week
by The Duplin County Health
Dept. in cooperation with The
National Foundation/March of
Dimes.
In recent years with the
advent of polio vaccine and
the cooperation of health and
medical personnel in admini
stering the vaccine polio has
almost been eradicated. In the
two and 1/2 years since the
licensing of Rubella (German
Measles) vaccine the number
of reported cases has reduced
over 1/2. Reported cases of
birth defects caused by Rubella
have decreased from 77 in 1970
to 33 in 1972 This is encoura
ging but it is important that
all children be vaccinated be
cause many medical experts
' believe that if enough young
sters in a community are im
munized. pregnant women will
be protected because infected
children are the main source
of the measles virus in the
community.
i All parents are urged to
begin Immunizing their babies
against Diphtheria, Whooping
Cough, Tetanus and polio at
age 6 weeks or two months
i Measles and Rubel a should be
? given at 1 yr of age. All be
i Mas should have regular che
l ck ups by their private doctor
especially during the first ye
s tr of life.

ternoons for Infants and pre
school children. Parents who
desire this service should co
ntact the Health Dept. since
babies are seen by appointm
ent only. A pediatric clinic is
held once a month and at pre
sent is staffed by Dr. CX.
Qulnn, Magnolia Mid the pu
blic health nurses Tnis cli
nic Is held on the third Fri
day of each month. Patients
are seen by appt. only.
Statistics show that parents
in Duplin County are failing
to get their babies immunised
at the proper time thereby c
auslng them to be susceptible
to all these diseases. Many
are fatal and debilitating and
many children could suffer or
die because of the lack of pa
rental concern
For anyone who would de
sire to get their children im
munised at the Health Dept.
the following clinics are held
thro out the county:
