Polio Data Is
Sought In Survey
By Health Group

The Southside District Health De-
partment with the cooperation of
county schools is planning a hasty
survey designed to determine the
approximate Humber of people who
need polio vaccine.
Starting out with Prince Edward
and Cumberland counties, the plans
call for similar surveys in other
counties within the district as soon
as feasible.
The QUESTIONABLE is worded in
such a manner that a study of
other lamentations can be made
at the same time. If the public
cooperates." said Dr.. F, ]. Glenn
ents, district health director, then
The physicians viii know their
problems" The health director ex-
pressed an opinion that definite
steps would then be taken
to make the vaccine available to
everyone without a burden.
~~-~~~~--~~
WhOOping Cough
In the meantime. DR.. Clements
urges parents Of small children to
lose no time in contracting their
t a m " physician for whooping
cough protection as the disease is
now in communities not very dis
tant from Farmville.
He pointed out that if a child
had his baby shots as much as
IS months ago. a booster is needed
at once. Young children need
boosters at least twice before they
are six years of age if the original
series of OPT (diphtheria. pertus-
sis-whooping cough, tentanUs =
iockjaw) shots Was issued during
the first year of life" DR.. Glenn
ents said.
Dr. Clements encourages every
person under 10 years of age to
take the polio vaccine. emphasizing
the fact that the present is the bes.
time to do it.
An immunlzat.on clinic is held
in Dr.. Clements office in the court
house building each Thursday ar
ternoon for persons who do not
have family physician and those
persons who are referred to him
by local doctors.
The director Of the local health
department attempts to advise
each patient what i recommended
by the medical profession as the
best for children ecords for each
child are maintained in order that
parents may furnish doctors and
teachers with a definite record of
what protection the child has been
