The role of the veterinarian in national disaster

"This report was prepared as the result of an agreement between the Communicable Disease Center and the Division of Health Mobilization entered into July 1, 1963, to explore the role of veterinarians in the post disaster period. It contains recommendations for accomplishing preparedness in these roles- -determining the training needed and evaluating the capabilities of the profession to provide this training. This report was prepared by the Veterinary Public Health Section, Communicable Disease Center, Public Health Service, U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Atlanta, Georgia, with the guidance and concurrence of a study group of veterinarians representing veterinary practitioners, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, Military veterinarians, and veterinarians of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who met in Washington in September 1963. More than 100 letters were sent to veterinarians in many specialty areas and in all parts of the United States, requesting guidance from them in defining "The Role of the Veterinarian in National Disaster. On April 8. 1964, the Deans or their representatives from 17 of the schools of veterinary medicine met at the Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta, Georgia to review this report. Special emphasis was placed on the current training capabilities of the profession, on what training would be required to assure proficiency in disaster veterinary medicine, and on when this training should be given to be most effective. The conclusions of this meeting have been incorporated in the report." - p. [1]I. Introduction -- II. Objectives and method of approach to study -- Ill. Summary and conclusions -- IV.

Recommendation of the Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices: Influenza

"During July 1968, an outbreak of A2 influenza occurred in Hong Kong, and subsequent laboratory studies on isolates demonstrated that the virus had undergone a major antigenic shift within the A2 classification. During August and September 1968, the Hong Kong strains spread rapidly to Singapore, Taiwan, the Philippines, Japan, Australia, Iran, Thailand, and India. The first documented introduction of the Hong Kong strains into the United States was in early September. Additional introductions of the virus by international travelers occurred throughout the fall of the year with an occasional small outbreak in a military population. Outbreaks in the civilian population wert' first documented in October, gained momentum in November, were widespread throughout the country in December, peaked at about the first of the year, and fell off in January. In all, 44 states, tile District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico reported widespread influenza A activity. Three states (Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas) reported regional activity; and three states (Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Hawaii) reported only isolated outbreaks. There was laboratory evidence of activity by the Hong Kong strains in all states except Nevada." - p. [1]I. United States summary 1968-69 -- II.
