Babies "Shots*
Given I fere By
Air Force Vet
| About 212 of Nome's canine
I population received their rabies
J shots Monday and Tuesday when
Capt. F. Erich Hemphill* and A 2C
Allen Nelson passed through here
enroute back to Elmendorf Air
Force Base, where Capt. Hemphill
is the base veterinarian.
The Air Force veterinarian team
have just concluded a summer
long project of administering anti
rabies inoculations to the dogs be
longing to people of most of the
native villages of northwestern
Alaska.
Capt. Hemphill, with the coop
eration of the Nome Police Dept.,
went from house to house giving
the inoculations and in addition
held a clinic at the police station.
The captain was high in his
praise for the cooperation given
him by the city and he recalled
that it was two years ago that
the Nome City Council first re
quested him to give rabies shots
here—which was the beginning of
the district-wide program.
The team has visited all of the
larger villages in the N.W. district
and all of the native villages in
close proximity to the Air Force
sites throughout the region.
While in the Bethel area, he
said that the team went up and
down tin Kuskokwim River during
the fishing season visiting all the
native fish camps they couid reach
by boat and by foot. In Barrow
they vaccinated about 3.000 dogs,
and at Kotzebue administered al
most 1.100 shots.
Capt. Hemphill estimated that
90 per cent of Nome's dog popu
lation have received their shots by
now—400 inoculations having been
given last winter.
He said that he will return this
way early in 1963 enroute to the
Air Force sites, and he will again
give the rabies shots.
He had the misfortune Monday
of being on the receiving end—
he was bitten by a dog while
giving a shot at one household.
Tuesday afternoon, he was in
vited by Superintendent Charles
to show a movie and give a talk
at the school to the children from
the sixth grade through high
school.
Capt. Hemphill and Airman Nel
son departed for Anchorage today
enroute back to Elmendorf AFB
where the captain said he would
immediately start a series of anti
rabies injections to counter any
ill effects from the dog bite he
received here.
