Only One Applicant For Free Vaccination In City
One six year old child was the only applicant for free vaccination at city expense to appear Monday before Dr. H. B. Duce, city health officer. A state law requires boards of health to provide one day each year free vaccine for any who may apply, and 25 doses were prepared. Unpleasant results during the last smallpox scare may have discouraged others from taking advantage of the free offer.
