Boards Program Begun i'm 1926

1t was two decades ago. in 1925,
that an intensive diphtheria i'm
muniZation program was begun in
Delaware by the State Board of
Health and since that time. 122 2G6
infants and young children have
been immuniZed by Board person
nel and, in addition. of course.
many thousands have had the pro-
tective measures given them by
their family physicians. In 1925.
the year before the program began.
there were 204 cases OF diptheria
and 80 deaths from the disease in
the state. Parents must not make
the mistake, however. of thinking
that because the death rate from
diphtheria has been markedly re-
duced, that their babies are safe
without immuniZatiOn.
Dr. Cameron advises that babies
be immuniZed as soon as possible.
after they reach the age of six
months. since babies are especially
susceptible to diphtheria. Only
when all young children have this
protection will diptheria be con-
quered in the state. for it is a dan
serous and catching" disease.
If you do not have a physician
the Well Child Conference in this
area is located at Ill W. r. 3rd ST
Milford. Delaware and the next
session will be held Thursday
March 14th, l to 3 p. m. for white
patients and Wednesday, March 9th
from ; to I p. m. for colored
patients.
