Abstract

Larry Dodd is a graduate of the Citadel in Charleston. He came to Florida as a VDI, Venereal Disease Investigator, in 1960. He was assigned to the Dade County Department of Health, transferred to Pensacola, and moved on to a position with the State Board of Health as director of the immunization program in 1963. He retired from the Center for Disease Control in 1989. In this interview, he discusses the Compulsory Immunization Law in 1967, which required children to have had vaccinations prior to attending school. He also talks about Swine flu, small pox, measles, and polio. Closing out the interview, he then mentions his travels to Africa in service of public health initiatives.
