Explains Naccine's Use
Defending the pneumonia vaccine
which the Health Department has
recommended. Dr. Copeland said
Newspaper reports rom outside the
city and telephone messages received
IN this department indicate misap-
prchenson regarding the field Of use
Of our vaccine for pneumonia. These
things should be borne in mind: First.
the vaccine does not protect against
influenza second. this vaccine is of
no value in treating influenza and
pneumonia; third, the vaccine seems to
Rave considerable value in protecting
the inoculated person against rneu-
mona.
The fact that Dr.. William II. Park.
director Of the bureau of laboratories
Of the Health Department. says that
this vaccine has value is convincing
reason for its use as protector
against pneumonia. If further study
confirms the present optimistic views
Of Dr. Park it would be q matter of
wisdom or the perts Of every individual
to be inocu ated With the vaccine"
