Four new jaundice cases in Thurmont area rise county total
Four new infectious hepatitis cases near Thurmont reported to Dr. Forbes H Burgess county health officer bring county total to 35 in the outbreak. Two school children sick when gamma globulin given at Thurmont, a third unvaccinated child, and a newly married woman fanned spread. Health authorities expect inoculation to halt the outbreak and plan further mass inoculations while gamma globulin remains scarce. The Red Cross donated 1300 dollars worth of gamma globulin and urged blood donations. A new ruling by Rear Admiral Vincent Hernandez allows most people who had hepatitis to donate blood, restoring eligibility for those previously rejected.
