64 FORTY-THIRD BIENNIAL REPORT j and to a Special Committee to Study the Feasibility of Establishing a School of Veterinary Medicine in North Carolina. Detailed reports of the sections operating within the Division of Epidemiology, including the special Immunization Activity Program, follow: Communicable Disease Control Section This section's activities include: 1. Receipt, tabulation, and evaluation of communicable disease morbidity reports for North Carolina. 2. Epidemiologic investigation and consultation when communicable diseases occur and when preventive measures must be instituted. 3. Education and feedback in the area of communicable disease control in the form of lectures, statistical reports, educational materials, and articles. 4. Promotion of new preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures in communicable disease control. Items of special interest occurring in the 1968-70 biennium include: 1. The development of a new monthly report, "Epidemiological Notes and Communicable Disease Morbidity Report", which is sent to public health workers and most of the physicians in private practice in North Carolina. This report replaces the old weekly morbidity report which went almost exclusively to public health officials. We feel that the new report has stimulated interest in the reporting of communicable diseases. 2. The licensing of rubella vaccine in 1969 was followed by the initiation of mass immunization campaigns against this disease. Much remains to be done here. 3. In conjunction with the Laboratory Division, a limited program of supplying immune serum globulin for prophylaxis against infectious hepatitis was started in November, 1969. 4. The table below shows trends in some of the reportable communicable diseases during the past 2V2 years; the effect of improved reporting must be taken into consideration in interpretation. Diphtheria, polio, and tetanus continue at a low ebb, and whooping cough continues to decline. Measles, another disease susceptible to
