The practice of lotting a child go
until ho is of school age before
having bin protected against dj. -
tlirrigx is equally hazardous and un
fair to the child. The child under
five years is not ohly nore suscept
ible to diphtheria, but mere likely
to die of it than an older child.
Dipthcria innunizrtion should bo
followed in six months by a ’Vschick’1
test to see if the child has com
plete immunity of if the child
requires additional protection
through rclnbculntipn. Crd.;narily
one inoculation is sufficient.
In tho case of diptheria a co -
parison of fi yures between the
pre-schoci and school childr n
ir.’jiunlsed i3 especially significant
becauso of the high incidence of
the disease and the higher death
rate for this disease in the pre
school ago group. 91g/o of oi?.r scli«
ool children are protected against
di hthoria. Only 79% of oar rrc
schoolors arc protected which .’cans
that a little over one out of evory
five children between the. ages of
5 r.ionths and 6 years is not prctect
Play safe-- rotoct yourself and
your cc, v 'un51y and see that your
children arc iao.iunizcd at the
earliest possible ago. Let us
have no ’’forgotten children."

get this matting away from Graham's
