Many residents of Prince Rupert will have been aware that from time to time cases of diphtheria have occurred In the city during the past eighteen months. At no time has the number of cases warranted the use of the term "epidemic," nor have there been any recent deaths in the city from this disease but a total of 46 persons contracted the disease in 1942, some of them in a moderately severe form. Since June of 1942 immunization against diphtheria has been made available to all Infants, pre-school and school children in the city and to date a total of 438 have received the three doses of diphtheria toxoid which complete this immunization. j However, it has been noticeable that about one-third of the cases have occurred in adults and, accordingly, an effort is. now being made to promote Immunization of G( have fbtth in Qauada susceptible adults. It happens that a fairly large number of persons are immune to diphtheria by the time they reach adult age and, fortunately, there is a simple test (Schick test) by which It can be determined whether or not an individual is Immune. Any adults found to be susceptible to diphtheria by this test should be Immunized by means of diphtheria toxoid. Accordingly, arrangements have been completed to make Schick testing, and subsequent immunization if required, available to all adult In the area, starting the first week in May. Mothers of children attending the infant and pre-school clinics, and any other women who find it convenient, may be tested and immunized at these regular clinics. All other adults will be accommodated at the Prince Rupert Health Unit office 'l two doors from the Library) cn Monday and Friday afternoons from 5 to 6 pjn., and on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to' 12 noon, starting May 3, 7 and 8 respectively. All adults are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to ensure personal protection as well as to aid the community in ridding itself of this dangerous disease.
