The following is from a
popular home magazine: “The
Henry Phipps Institute re
cently released first reports on
a study of American Indians
who, between 1936 and 1938
were vaccinated against tuber
culosis with BCG.
“Among 1,550 vaccinated
Indians, ranging in age from
1 year to 20 years, 55 have
since died, 6 from tuberculosis.
Among 1,457 unvaccinated
Indians of similar age, 108
have died, 52 from tuber
culosis. Among 123 children
vaccinated several days after
birth, 7 have died, but none
from tuberculosis.
“Of 139 comparable children
who were not vaccinated, 15
have died, 4 from tuber
culosis. The value of the vac
cination seems clearly indi
cated in this series of cases.’’
