Decline In Typhoid
Fever Exumple Of
Medical Progress

One of the most striking ex-
amples of medical progress is
the remarkable decline in ty-
phoid fever. In Mississippi, ty-
phoid fever has been reduced
from $500 cases in 1925 to las
cases in 1914. This dramatic de-
cline is due to the vigilance and
efforts of health workers and
physicians, and public coopera-
ton. Yet in view of the effective
measures of immunization even
this small amount of typhoid fe-
yer is too much.
The chief responsibility in the
control of this disease rests up
on the individual, for he can per-
sonally protect himself by being
immunized. Three doses of ty-
phoid vaccine given at weekly
intervals afford protection for
two or three years. The immu-
nization can be repeated every
three years o after the series of
three injections, one yearly in
lection will protect thereafter.
