Baker, City Health officer was held• The officials decided to give 300 children and officers of the school the anti-pneumonia Lipo vaccine• The army vaccine is to be used because it is believed to be effective with one dose in a much shorter time than other vaccines and that its effectiveness has been demonstrated by army and navy health reports and its use is advocated by the USPHS• There is still a large quantity of the vaccine at the Office of the Public Health Service, 519 Custom House• Vaccinations are available upon request
