Vaccination Drives Face Opposition in French District
Doctors appointed by the board of health vaccinated men women and children in a largely French American district amid resistance. Infants predominated and many adults were vaccinated at mills or in parochial schools. Dr. Lavigne and Dr. Brunelle led the effort, with opposition noted among older residents and a few exemption requests denied. The process involved canvassing houses, noting histories, and completing the inoculation before resistance could develop. Officials warned that neglect of smallpox reports and cross-border cases from Canada fueled fears, yet the campaign aimed to curb a potential epidemic and noted promising progress at the contagious hospital.
