Health and Safety Tips
from
The American Medical
Association
Oive your family a Christmas
present this week that might save
their lives. H you’ve been pro
crastSnatinsg about taking the
kids to the doctor for their vac
cinations, don’t put It off any
longer. And while you’re taking
the kids, ask yourself — How
long has it 'been since I Wad any
shots myself?
Every year many children and
adults become seriously ill —
even die, because they or their
parentis have neglected to take
advantage of protective vaccmes
that have been in common use
for many years and are available
in every family doctor’s office.
FOr years, diphtheria, whoop
ing cough and tetanus have been
prevented by a triple vaccine rou
tinely given to babies. The doc
tors call it "DPT.” (The techni
cal name for whooping cough is
pertussis.) A vaccine against po
lio has been available for six
years and is routinely used.
Smallpox vaccination has been
known for more than 150 years
and has Just about wfipSd out the
disease in many areas of the
world.
And yet there still are a lot
of us Who aren’t protected against
all five of these diseases. We
axe taking unnecessary risk of
illness or crippling or death.
When should get these shorts?
If you haven’t already had them,
see your doctor right now and
follow his advice. An article in
the January issue of Today’s
Health, the magazine of the A
morican (Medical Association,
list schedules of immunization a
gainst these five diseases, as re
commended by the American A
cademy Of Pediatric.
The (DIPT shot is first given at
the age of six to eight weeks. The
first polio shot is given at the
same age. The smallpox shot Is
recommended at six to twelve
^months. Some physicians are now
using a fourway vaccine that
wraps up DPT and polio into
one shot.
But the first Shot doesn’t com

followed by boosters at twelve

FORT BUCKNER, Okinawa.
(AHTNC) — Army Staff Ser
arrt Paul E. Sheppard, whose
wife, Allien, lives on Route 2,
Kings Mountain, N. C., partici
pated with other personnel from
the 503rd Infantry Oomfbat Team
in Operation Suburbia, a week
tong field training exercise on
Okinawa which ended Dec. 8.
The exercise began when mem
bers of the 503rd’s 2nd Airborne
Battik* Group parachuted onto the
Yomltan air -trip. The jump was
followed by a heavy equipment
drop where trucks, artillery, con
struction gear and supplies nec
essary for the maneuver were
parachuted onto the strip. The
503rd then hiked 23 miles to
Camp Hansen for two days of
antiJguerrilla training. Follow
ing this, they were airlifted by
heHcoper to northern Okinawa
for training in mountain and
jungle tactics. Operation Subur
bia was the largest airborne ex
months and again at four years.
Three shots of podio vaccine (the
Salk type) are recomm ended, al
so at four-week intervals, with a
booster at twelve months, again
at two years and every two years
thereafter. Smallpox boosters are
recommended every five yars or
following exposure.
The Academy suggests that the
new podio vaccine (Salbin) will be
used to supplement the Salk vac
cine when the new product be
comes available.
There are other vaccines, in
cluding a new one for measles
that has just been successfully
tested, and a mumps vaccine that
is getting a trial. Neither is gen
erally available as yet. Typhoid
Shots sometimes 'are recommenc
ed should an epidemic break out
or following a disaster in which
water might 'be contaminated.
Perhaps you have a few days
next week when thing*: aren’t
quite so busy at the office or a
round home. Give yourself and
your family a real Christmas
present. Make a date with your
family physician and get caught
up on vaccinations.
,• As the clock strikes New Year, may we
add a note of thanks to our many friends
| for their much appreciated kindness.
