precautions against typhoid
;^EJNG TAKEN IN VALLEY
Dr. Joseph Stickler, Epidemiologist'
for the Alaska Department of Health,
paid a visit to Palmer on Monday in
connection with the typhoid epidemic
in the Spenard area near Anchorage.
Ahile here he called upon the Health
Council to reassure the people of
the Valley that there are at present
no known cases of typhoid in this
area, and no special precautions
need be taken until, further notice.
However, it is always a good idea
to boil water from doubtful sources,
and it would be a good idea for as
many people as possible to have a
typhoid inoculation. The Health
Department laboratory will supply
the local doctors and the xlealth
Center with free serum for this pur
pose.
Dr. Stickler will continuo to watch
the situation very .closely, and is
on the look-out for any contacts be
tween persons living in the Valley
with those in the Sponard area. If
any residents of the Valley have
visited in Bpenard recently, or have
entertained guests from there, it
would be appreciated if they would
get in touch with Dr. Stickler at
the Health Department, or with Miss'
Marjorie Myren, lublic Health Nurse,
at the Matanuska Valley Health Cen
ter. The source of the infection
has not yet been found, but the di
sease has been definitely diagnosed
as typhoid, and not paratyphoid.
School children in the Palmer area
will be offered free immunization
jat school as soon as enough vaccine
[is available.
Persons who have not been immunized
against typhoid within the past three
years should have the complete ser
ies which consists of three inocula
tions a week apart. Others need
only have a booster.
