RESOLUTION NO. 4736
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ARCADIA COMMENDING THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION'S CONCERN FOR STUDENT
IMMUNIZATION
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Medical Association
has pledged the energy and resources of its 10,000 physician-
member association to combat several serious communicable di-
seas~s among school-aged children in the City of Los Angeles;
and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Medical Association
has recognized the severity of this problem and has been a
leader in organized medicine's effort to conduct a county-wide
immunization campaign; and
WHEREAS, a high percentage of our primary and se,condary
school students are not adequately immunized against the danger-
ous cQmmunicable diseases of Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Tetanus,
Polio, Measles, Rubella and Mumps; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to carry the "im-
munization message" county-wide because many parents are unaware
of, or apathetic about, the dangers that may arise by delaying
innoculation; and
WHEREAS, by state law, it is mandatory that school
children be vaccinated against these specific diseases, and do-
cumentation must be provided before the students will be allowed
to attend school.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Arcadia City Council
commends the concern of the Los Angeles County Medical Associa-
tion and its physician-members for the students in our school
system,and their public service action to immunize our children
against the communicable diseases of Diphtheria, Whooping Cough,
Tetanus, Polio, Measles, Rubella and Mumps.
