VACCINATIONS AT AIRPORT
Asian Influenza Precautions
Airport workers at the overseas terminal at Harewood who lined up yesterday for vaccination against Asian influenza received a bonus. The vaccine with which they were inoculated is a multipurpose type designed to give protection against several local strains of influenza as well as the Asian strain. The period is three months. Tasman Empire Airways ground crew and traffic staff, bank staff and officers of the Customs and Agriculture Departments, police and immigration officials, and others who work in the building, or at Lyttelton, were among'about 80 persons who received the vaccine. - Dr. Margaret Lamont headed a Health Department team of three. When the desk which she had been using was required for the interviewing of incoming passengers, she moved to the airport office of Mr F. G.; Hill, Christchurch manager for T.E.A.L., and there vaccinated the crew of the DC-fl. The department’s ; port health officer later confirmed that no-one had been detained at Harewood on suspicion of having the infection. A constant watch is being kept
