Poston, city health officer, stated that vaccinations would be available to any person who wanted them, free of charge. The move is being made to head off any epidemic locally, after the disease had reached epidemic proportions in Seattle and sever al cases reported in San F ran cisco. Dr. Poston reported that a small am ount of vaccine was available Monday ,and t h a t enough for all who wanted it would be in Ashland later in the week. The vaccine was made a- vailable to all doctors here and they would adm inister the inouc- lation to those who came to their office. There is no indication, Dr. Poston stated .that the disease, which claimed several lives in Scuttle, was spreading, but he believed in early precautions, as the disease is hard to control, should it get a foothold. Im m uni zation is effective for seven years and the same vaccine used for the ordina y type of smull pox is used in p. evention of the type now in Seattle.
