Students Are Given
Measles Immunization
Pupils of Palmer School yester
day morning were given an in
jection of immune globin as a pre
ventive against measles, it was an
nounced today by Dr. C. C. Bailey.
The injection was given only to
those students who had parental
permission.
Dr. Bailey said there are about
a dozen cases of measles scattered
over the Valley at present and the
immune globin is given to prevent
the spread of the disease.
“In some cases, the immune glo
bin does not prevent the disease,
but it will make the case much
milder.” the doctor stated. Yester
day's injection probably will im
munize the students who took it
for the remainder of the year.
The serum was obtained through
the assistance of. Miss Marjorie
Myren, public health nurse.
Meanwhile, mass x-rays for Pal
mer students are postponed until
medical technicians arrive here.
The equipment is now in Palmer.
Dr. Bailey said he felt certain the
examinations would be conducted
next week, but he had no definite
information today on the specific
date.
