Here is a special message on the smallpox situation by the health commissioner of the city of New York they just got a man Dr Israel line ladies and gentlemen I know that there is a question in the minds of many people in the state what is the real situation is there a pause for undue alarm Hallie I honestly say in answer to that there isn't any cause for one view of the situation is apparently under control. But you did the math thanks to me the answer is definitely yes. Now the fifth year somewhat come for though that of a small fire somewhere that is apparently under control and yet there is inflammable in the fury about now US has their own view of law and you know the the fire seemingly is under control but you didn't plan on going the fury of being put out of the way to get from that league if exactly the same thing lives that have been pieces of small town and there are people many people in this city who are unpredictable now we've been very lucky those puff it may have been partly due to be from Fifa itself the Department of Health from the Fatah party if you've been vaccinated or one day the media but you can't possibly get favorable then maybe you feel someone in the fifty's someone that may come down with a disease and if any who are running vaccinated come in contact with that person and he runs the risk of getting the disease and I do with this film often to prepare and hear it often enough that the nation is the only method to protect it is going through and I am going to get over the course of the in three and a half now they have good five minute regrets very much with it's been long lines and there's been some inconvenience but please remember that it's not dime to fall for such a large number of people have been vaccinated and start dying and at such short notice. Now there was a shortage of material the unity of the two neighboring blocks the country that now demanding a vaccine from the pharmaceutical How did it it didn't make from deliveries no one leaning anyone from THE SITUATION ROOM. A view to the very prompt and if they could act in one of their old wire they thought it has been for if they're going to get in sufficient vaccine and it's coming in and going in three thousand I'm out the filth. And apart from the plate now I have sufficient material and we hope to open up the Phillies placing the model at twelve o'clock. Position you have been temporarily out of vaccine available and calling forth with very sorry for giving them as much as we possibly can and hoping that the drugstore in the dark and if they can get the material in their own navel a building the past week they have a copy of the patent hundred seventy seven hundred seventy five dollars at work in a different thread brought personality from a new and much pain free that will be available. Now if we had planned to do that God didn't agree and I have plenty but from Britain didn't defeat you it would be finished in a much shorter time. When you think that back in one thousand nine hundred Q After an event if you're six months exactly from eight hundred thousand feet what has been done when you live in the we have been for that for me from nearly one and a half million people have been back. Now there are certain ones that could get people and those are those who have never been back maybe those those who have not been vaccinated and. We do not get the field and beautiful and they will be back in the unit for. Now leave remember that is the only vaccinate that is a particular friend of their revenues of this very few of the. That the minute through this industry. You have just heard a special message by health commissioner winds dying on the smallpox if you wait for the returning now to our studio. Ladies and gentlemen I have just come from the mayor's office but it was a conference on the subject of smallpox. The mayor is concerned about the appearance of this disease in the city. Now there's no cause for undue alarm. Thanks to the fact that most of the people of this city are protected by vaccination. And likelihood of a serious outbreak of smallpox just like. However the presence of even a single case must not be taken lightly. And we have had to date they've been P.C. and two of them have died now there's no reason for waiting longer there is only one myth for fifteen the people against the ravages of this disease and that the vaccination this is one disease and which aren't keen ice with a few than other methods so effective in the spread of other communicable diseases is. Not sufficient. You must have vaccination and to prefer sned been properly vaccinated years thoroughly for thank you I had the Nash how long does this particular Last Well it varies an individual some fortunate individuals remain protected from life others may lose it with a media we give the average roughly for somewhere between five and seven years. However when smallpox Afia. It is too late to gamble on whether or not we have the unit I was actually myself when the disease appeared here and I think that was. Might sixteenth like sneak and despite the fact that the old series of them dry after that had shown a new reaction nevertheless I felt it would be very foolish not to have this very simple procedure done and be sure that I was perfect. How to help people often has it its clinics in the various fields center. There are twenty one of them in the city during the vaccinated at the baby health stations of which there are sixty five minutes if you need and death at the health department building one twenty five with St. The Department of hospitals has vaccination given that all hours of the day and night in one hundred fifteen of the public and private hospitals now that is the fact that our F. vaccine stocked and for the moment you can't expand further the beginning Women's Day. We will have plenty to set up a live report East station in the city we're getting in stops of vaccine from other sources so that the everybody will have the opportunity of the vaccine. Now we hear that you have to go to your private physician but in even the to get the thought that you do not reach people with private position the vaccination will be done free of all charge by the state. It is almost axiomatic that if there is any community that has if considerable number of people on vaccinated smallpox we're lucky if. The disease is caused by a virus that is their fault you do not have become an immediate untag with a person that they don't have much of or the media if your unvaccinated and such a person is brought by in the same village the wrong. You are susceptible it is the most communicable of all disease. On the league Nintendo virulent more. As a high did three top forty percent in infants and twenty percent in the dust and if you're fortunate enough not to die of the disease you stand the chance of being talked about for life or being blinded or having a vital organ in now if you do that not yet you don't hear that there will be any widespread epidemic or that the matter will get out of there but we do feel very definitely that every person in this city who had to have this project. To begin with there ought not to be anyone who has never been vaccinated to go off and yet we have quite a number in the city in that state. Those constitute the most urgent cases then come the adults who have not been vaccinated since child and then thirdly those who may have come in contact with the kids now those of the health department in the past in the past but those are taken care of pretty will they're really gone through all the places where these people may have been vaccinated everybody off and we have gotten in contact now there will be an opportunity put off and we ask that you do not believe the law but there it's done probably take two and a half to three weeks before all the people in the city are blacked out back. And please remember that good they see the set up and get back to the.
