By P.C. Carter, County
Health Officer
There was reported during the past week 354 cases of
influenza in this county, making a total of 714 cases reported up to the end of
the past week. With 11 cases of pneumonia reported during the past week, making
a total of 28 cases of pneumonia reported during the epidemic.
As a general rule the majority of cases are people who did
not have flu last year, where they did have it last year it is as a rule a
milder type of flu.
A great many people are making good their opportunity to
take the Pneumonia Saline Vaccine furnished by the Army Medical school and the
State Laboratory of Hygiene. It can be had from the County Health Department,
Weldon.
