1035 ATTEND TB CLINIC
Palmer's enthusiastic response to
the Territorial Department of Heal
th BCG clinic held at the local
Health Copter from April 30 to May
I4., exceeded the optimistic hopes of
departmental personnel, Miss Marj
orie Myren, Public Health nurse,
announced yesterday.
Reporting on clinic attendance,
she’ said that 1035 persons were
tuberculin tested in Palmer. Of
these, 795 or 77 percent reacted
negatively to the test, and 795
were vaccinated with BCG. Positive
reactions to the tuberculin test
were recorded for 188. Fifty-two
persons failed to return to have
their tuberculin tests read.
In Wasilla, tuberculin tests
were given to 13k persons on Wed
nesday, May 2. Ninety-seven were
negative reactors, and 9U them
received the BCG vaccination.
Positive reactors to the tuber
culin test who have not had a re
cent X-ray are advised to make ar
rangements for one through their
physician or through the Health
Center, Miss Myron said.
Quite a number of persons, know
ing that the BCG team would be in
Palmer for 5 days, failed to get
their tuberculin tests the first
two days of the clinic. They did
not understand that I4.8 hours had
to elapse before the tests could
be be read and before the vaccina
tion, if indicated, could bo given.
Miss Myren stated that the BCG
team hopes to return to Palmer in
about two months to make the BCG
program available to those who
missed tho opportunity before.
