DOCTORS PREPARE
TO COMBAT POSSIBLE ’FLU OUTBREAK get priority
Doctors in Clitheroe are preparing to fight the flu virus, commonly known as
“Mao flu” which may hit this country sometime next year. No cases have been re ported so far in Clitheroe and district, it is understood. A local doctor, comm enting on the possibility of a widespread flu epidemic,
said this week that the peopl e most likely to contact the virus are those suffering from chest conditions, particularly chronic bronchitis. He added that the Mao
flu virus is different from that contracted by so many people in 1957, so it didn’t necessarily mean that people who were infected 11 years ago would be immune from the Mao virus.
poAt the moment there is no a licy for mass immunisation Mnd t'he doctor continued. “The v inistry of Health suggest that aaccine should be made avail able in limited quantities to t ged people with chest condi sions, and members of hospital
taffs."It will also be made avail hable to old people living in
beopulation as a whole will not a immune, so there could be
emes. p If there is an epidemic, the
stocking quantities of vaccine, which manufacturers are pro bducing as quickly as possible,
