Under Quarantine

The occupants of dwellings where diphtheria case occurred were kept under quarantine and children were discouraged from coming in contact with other persons except their immediate families, and from being on the street. An order was put into effect that children were to be off the streets at D. m.
 At the time the first cases of diphtheria were diagnosed Dr. Mcrcom, United States Army Doc tors and Mrs. Annette Kitzmiller, public health nurse with the Ter ritoriel Department of Health, were the only officials at Nome. They were assisted by Mrs. Margaret Mczeel pr, Paul A. Lindquist, Dis trict Health Commissioner of the Anchorage branch of the Terri torial Department of Health was sent to Nome to assume charge of control measures. The Office of Indian Affairs sent Dr. Fred Lang sam, physician in charge at Bethel; Miss Mabel Morgan, Consultant in Nursing; Miss Christine Sorrill, field nurse at Unalakleet, and Miss Mildred Keaton, field nurse. Miss SoTill replaced Mrs. Alice H. Baker, O. I. A. field nurse at Meme, who was on vacation, but due to the emergency, returned to her post.
 Prevention Program
 The health officials and Army doctors carried out an intensive program fer the prevention and spread of the epidemic in Nome and other villages on the Penin- sula, and within the month brought the disease under control.
 "The outbreak and spread of the diphtheria epidemic on Seward Peninsula was chiefly due to the fact that immunizaticn for the disease has probably not been done as completely in that district as in other parts of the Territory" :" said Dr. Carter. This is mainly because of the ncmadic manner in which the Eskimos live and the fact that their often changed
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-11-25

dwellings are in remote areas.
 "Ihe fact that. an epidemic has occurred in the Territory should serve as a warning to parents of the necessity for diphtheria im- munization for their children. Clinics are held regularly through cut the year in the Territorial Health Ceiiters.' rs4
 Immunization clinics are held regularly in Juneau the third Wednesday of each month in the Juneau Health Center, Territorial Building. The next clinic will be December 20.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-11-25

Carter immediately dispatched diphtheria toxoid and antitoxin in sufficient quantities to meet all de- mands, from the Juneau and An chcrage Health Department labora- tories. to supplement the supply on hand in Nome. The diphtheria tox- old was administered to all actual cases and Shick tests and diph theIia innoculations were given to children and to adult contacts. The laboratory at the U. S. Army Post Station Hospital was turned Sover to the health officials for the bac- astrological examinations in con- nection with the epidemic.
 Immediate Action
 At the outbreak of the epidemic immediate acticn was taken to pre- vent spread of the disease by the cooperation of the Territorial De- partment of Health, Office of h. dian Affairs. the medical personnel of the U. s. Army Post and Dr. Thomos Morcom, M. D., Deputy Territorial Health Commissioner ard private practicing physician at Nome.
 Travel between villages on Sew ard Peninsula was curtailed and airplane companies were requested hot to carry children as passengers to Nome unless absolutely neces- sary, in which event they were kept isolated during their stay in the town.
