Vaccination Urged For
Children Entering
School

Parents of children entering school
for the first time. or returning their
older children previously un-vaceinat-
cd, ere urged TO take them to their
family physician for vaccination With
out delay.
As it requires several weeks for the
vaccination scab TO form and heal, u Is
important to have the children vacci
mated in advance of the school opening.
This viii prevent danger of infection
from injury during play and save tho
child from "bsd srm.''
Parents are reminded that they are
required by law to have their school
children vaccinated. As the Health
Department supplies free vaccine to
physicians IL is simple matter to
have the vaccination performed By the
family doctor at nominal fee.
