DIPHTHERIA SHOTS
 TO BE GIVEN SEPTEMBER 30

Another Diphtheria ImHnunlza- ton Clinic for all who did not re ceive their second toxoid shot last Monday is announced by Miss Esther Bacon, Public Health nurse.
 Clinic will be held Monday, Sep tember 30 from 2 to p. m. and from to p. m. at the Health Center, Federal Building
 Miss Bacon stressed that it is very important that all have at least two shots for immunizaticn tt be effective. One, she said, was not enough. She also stated that these shots should be given at an interval of four weeks as the tox- old is absorbed very slowly by the tissues and a small lump may be felt at the sight of injection for several weeks. Better protection, she said, is made possible by this gradual absorption.
 Three to six months after im- munization, she added, all persons should be Shick-tested and those who still show positive reaction should receive another dose of diphtheria toxoid.
