Summary

District Health Department No. 3 used the Beacon to promote Governor Milliken’s October 1974 Immunization Action Month. Dr. Robert Libke urged parents to review their children’s records and complete recommended series and boosters; the issue prints the department’s age-based schedule.

Evidence and limits

The notice is a public-health recommendation. Its statewide estimate is not a Beaver Island measurement, and the article does not document local vaccinations, individual medical records, or program administration.

Sources

  1. Reprints Dr. Robert Libke’s appeal to review children’s immunization records, cites a statewide estimate that approximately 40% lacked recommended protection levels, and prints a schedule for D.P.T., trivalent oral polio vaccine, measles/rubella, tuberculin, smallpox, and school-entry boosters. It is public-health guidance, not evidence of local vaccination rates or administration. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
