HEALTH COUNCIL
NEWS
The Territorial Department of
Health BCG (tubercular) program
will be brought to Palmer the
first week in May.
Although the BCG clinic will
be open to everyone living in and
near Palmer, not everyone at
tending will be vaccinated with
BCG. First a tuberculin patch
[ test will be given. This will be
read at the clinic 48 hours later.
Those who reacted positively will
not be given the vaccine, since
they already have built up some
resistance to tuberculosis. Those
reacting negatively will be given
the BCG vaccine.
Like smallpox vaccination, the
BCG vaccination does not confer
permanent immunity. Its effect
will last from one to 10 years. A
negative tuberculin test will show
immunity has worn off. Unlike
smallpox vaccination, BCG does
not guarantee total immunity.
However, studies in communities
where tuberculosis incidence is
high have shown that people who
have had the BCG vaccination
chance of resisting the disease
than those who have not had the
vaccine.
More about BCG vaccine in
next week’s paper.
