Vaccinate Eskimos
For Tuberculosis
Vaccinations for the control of
tuberculosis were completed re
cently at the top of the world—
Paint Barrow, Alaska—according
to an announcement made by Sec
retary of the Interior J. A. Krug.
IA total of 600 Eskimos were ex
amined and tested and, of these,
250 received the anti-tuberculosis
vaccine (BCG) by Dr. Joseph R.
Aronson of Phiadelphia, Pa., spe
cial physician attached to the Bur
eau of Indian Affairs. The vaccine
can be given only to perosns who
have not previously been infected
with tuberculosis, since it is a pre
ventive not a curative agent.
The inauguration of this pro
gram is probably the most import
' ant single step yet taken by the
United States in its efforts to com
I ' *
bat the dread effects of tuberculo
sis among the Alaska native peo
ple. It has been estimated that the
incidence of tuberculosis among
the natives is 16 times greater than
the rate for the United States. The
mortality rate from tuberculosis
among the natives over the 7-year
period prior to May, 1946. aver
aged 688 per 100,000 each year.
This is approximately 10 times the
death rate occurring in the white
population of the Territory and
approximately 15 times that of the
population of the United States.
The problem of obtaining fresh
. vaccine at places as remote as
Barrow and Wrangell was a diffi
cute one to solve. The vaccine
must be administered within four
days of its prepara‘ion, otherwise
its effectiveness is lost. In order to
meet this problem, fresh supplies
were flown each day from Phila
delphia to Fairbanks, by commer
cial airline. At Fairbanks the
Navy provided air transportation
to the field party. Similar prob
lems of obtaining fresh supplies of
vaccine will face the program in
its Southeastern Alaska opera
tions.
Dr. Aronson was assisted in the
work at Barrow and Wrangell by
Dr. William Carr, contract physi
cian in the service of the Navy de
partment; by Dr. Elaine Schwinge.
Dr. Ed Bloomquist, United States
Public Health Service; and Dr.
Florence Marquis, detailed by the
United S*ates Health Service to
the Territory of Alaska.
