kind, interesting personality.

Starting school is a big important
step in every child's life and of prime
importance is making sure the child

Health District Seven, will individually check every child brought to these
special clinics. If the triple immuni
zations against diphtheria, whooping

cinated against smallpox about five
years ago, a re-vaccination is also suggested in order to continue protection.
