Typhoid shots are advised by the
Georgia Department of Public
Health for persons going into areas
where poor sanitation may be ex
pected as in some types of summer
camps and during extensive travel
ing.
Those who have already had ty
phoid shots would need only boos
ter shots, according to Dr. W. J.
Murphey, the department’s director
of epidemiology. Otherwise, three
shots are necessary a weey apart.
Typhoid reached its greatest
point, Dr. Murphy said, before the
turn of the century. Subsequently,
the purificatoon of drinking water
and better sanitation of food and
milk supplies led to a marked de
cline in the number of cases. Ty
phoid shots, which were begun in ,
the South in 1910 also contributed j
to the decline. Today, under usual j
living conditions, the dangers of i
typhoid are far less than a few de- j
cades ago.
The sources of infection for ty- .
phoid are disappearing, Dr. Mur
phy said. The older typhoid car-
riers of 15 to 30 years ago are dy
ing off with v£ry few replace
ments. One or two percent of all
who have typhoid become carriers;
Georgia has about 50 to 60 cases
yearly, thus adding only about one
carrier per year. ?
