For nothing can build job security quite so rapidly as a reduction in the unnecessary use of time, material, supplies or equipment. Will you do "Your Part" to reduce or eliminate waste in every facet of "Your Business?" CLOTHMAKER Social Security News Medicare covers vaccinations or innoculations only if directly related to the treatment of an injury This definition comes from Social Security Field Representative, J. E. Gunter ir response to many questions on this subject. Vaccinations or innocu lations are not covered unless they are directly related to the treatment ol an injury or direct exposure?such as anti rabies antitoxin, booster vaccanation, botulin antitixin, tetanus or immune globulin "Immunization a g a i n s 1 such diseases as polio, diptheria, and smallpox are not covered by Medicare,' Gunter emphasized. Drugs are covered by Medicare only if they are the type which could not be self-administered, the Field Representative pointed out. Such drugs are usually administered through injections by the physician or his nurse under the physician's supervision. These injections arc covered even if required on a continued basis. "If the injection is usually self-administered?such as insulin?Medicare does not cover it." Gunter warned. Neither prescription nor regular drugs are covered by Medicare except those |./M<tinal.. ?: ? : 1 1 luuimcn ciitiiiiiii&itrreu oy the hospital to patients, according to Gunter. Iron lungs, oxygen tents, hospital chairs, and wheel chairs may be covered by Medicare. Such durable equipment must be prescribed by the physician as needed in the convalescence or treatment of the patient. The coverage is usually on a purchase - rental basis, with the patient being allowed to retain the equipment after the full purchase - rental price is reached. The Embargo Act of 1807. which limited trade between the United States and foreign countries, was instrumental in influencing South Carolina investors to consider textile manufacturing.
