Flu Vaccine Rush
May Be Too Late
By CHARLES S. TAYLOR
ATLANTA (UPD—The na- :
tion’s drug manufacturers today
rushed to increase a vaccine i
supply that currently can
protect only one of every 40
Americans against the spread
ing Hong Kong flu. One health
official says the action may be
too late to be effective.
“As far as Hong Kong flu is
concerned, people should have
gotten shots last month,” said
Dr. Robert A. Baratta of the
Florida Health Department.
But Baratta suggested that
the chronically ill and the aged
get the shots as soon as
possible. These two groups have
priority for the approximate
five million doses of Hong Kong
flu vaccine now being distribut
ed to doctors.
The Pharmaceutical Manfac
turers Association in Washing
' ton said the target production
was for million doses for
civilians and 2.5 million for
servicemen by January 1.
Flu and respiratory ailments
have been reported so far in 33
states, causing rashes of ab
senteeism in schools and busi
nesses.
New Jersey, where the flue
has reached epidemic propor
tions, received 3,500 doses of
vaccine and sent it to five
counties with orders for use
only on “high risk patients.”
At least two colleges, the
Citadel at Charleston, S.C., and
Hollins College near Roanoke,
Va., have closed because of flu
outbreaks, and a number of
New York schools reported high
absenteeism because of sick
ness.
Marshall Field, a huge
Chicago department store, said
it is averaging from 150 to 200
absences a day among em
ployes "and more are being
sent home all the time.”
Gimbels department store In
Philadelphia said 20 per cent of
its work force has been stricken
by flu.
Twenty-eight Los Angeles
County schools reported more
than 10 per cent of their
students ill, and Sioux Falls,
S.C., health officials said there
was an epidemic of respiratory
illnesses in that city.
Florida Health Officer Wilson
Sowder said the situation could
make for a bleak Christmas In
many homes.
"There’s really very little a
healthy person can do to ward
it off if he gets the bug,” he
said.
