Historical November 1976 health reporting. Dates, fees, recommendations and first-aid instructions are reproduced from the original issue, not current medical advice or service announcements.
In what has turned out to be the cliffhanger of the year, the City-wide swine flu immunization scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 17 and 24, was cancelled. A new date is pending from the Health Department, and will be announced in the media. The Clinic is still prepared to offer this service, when and if the Health Department makes final plans. Watch your newspapers for further information.
In the meantime, the Clinic will have a limited amount of the vaccine to be dispensed during regular clinic hours, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, beginning at 6:00 P.M. This vaccine is issued in limited amounts on the physician’s signature, but should be in adequate amounts to care for our usual clinic caseload. Therefore, those in the high-risk groups (over 65, or suffering from a chronic disease such as heart trouble, etc.) will have this service available in the community without waiting for the citywide program.
