Commissioner Emerson notes city labs can supply anti-toxin for up to 1,000,000 soldiers within a day, with ongoing large scale production of tetanus antitoxin. The unit also conducts extensive bacterial testing for diphtheria, tuberculosis, pneumonia prevention, and food safety, supporting rapid reports to physicians.
