“No Typhoid in New Hanover” from April 1919 issue of The Health
Bulletin, published by the North Carolina
State Board of Health
The New Hanover County Board of Health is setting a pace
for other counties in the matter of fighting
typhoid fever. From all reports they are conducting a special campaign
among physicians and others to secure general vaccination against typhoid
fever. If the public will avail themselves of the free typhoid vaccine which is
being offered them, there will be little or no typhoid fever in New Hanover
County this summer.
In the army, where typhoid fever has formerly been
notoriously prevalent, it has been entirely eradicated, because our soldier
boys have all been vaccinated against it.
We are glad to see New Hanover taking this action, and we hope
that other counties will fall in line.
