The 1918 Spanish Influenza Pandemic-Influenza in Vallejo

From: Oakland Tribune, 05 October 1908, Page 12, Column 6

INFLUENZA CASES ARE FOUND IN VALLEJO

VALLEJO, Oct. 5-Two cases of what are believed to be Spanish Influenza have been found in town, according to Health Officer Dr. B. J. Klotz. The physician states, however, that it is a hard matter to differentiate between the Spanish influenza and the common influenza which is prevalent this time of year and that it may take a day or so to diagnose the cases. However, the doctor says that it is a certainty that Vallejo will not escape the Spanish influenza epidemic.
