Vaccination Urged By Health Officer In Texas
Dr John W Brown State Health Officer urges vaccination against smallpox at least every five years to eliminate it as a cause of illness and death. In 1934 Texas reported almost eight hundred cages to the State Department of Health as smallpox cases. The disease chiefly strikes children under 14 with an 8 to 14 day incubation. Initial symptoms include severe headache and high fever followed by back and loins pain. An eruption then appears within days and rises above the skin.
