To stop any epidemice of
“black” small pox in Ashland,
Dr. Ralph E. 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.
