NO DIPHTHERIA CASES HERE AT PRESENT TIME 1Innoculalior;gChildren Is| Preventative Measure, Says Health Officer “Contrary to rumor, there are no cases’ of diphtheria in Juneau at| the present time, the innoculation| of children of school and pre-| school age, up to 12 years old, is| being done as a purely preventa-| tive measure,” Dr. W. W. Council, Territorial Health Officer, said to- day. “Because of the untold benefits resulting from these innoculations,| they will be made a compulsory/ measure, if necessary. However, it| is not believed thaf this step will be required. Yesterday 110 chil- dren of Juneau received diphtheria| innoculations, and absolutely no ill| effects resulted,” he declared. During the last few years, zhc diphtheria toxoid has been so per-| fected that only one innoculation is necessary for immunization, ra- ther than three, as was. previously the case, according to Dr. Council.| As it requires approximately three months for complete immun- ization, this work will be done be- fore the end of the present school| term, he said. It is not necessary that this im- munization be done by the Terri- torial Health officer, and toxoid will be furnished upon request, to any family physician, who will fur- inish a certificate for each child innoculated to the Territorial Health office. po - STV e R.
