Hospitals suffered doctor and nurse shortages, many sacrificed their lives on the frontlines. The post, October 1918The New York Herald, January 1919

A vaccine was made and distributed. Some schools and businesses opened while cases were hitting record numbers other states. The evening world, October 1918The Washington Herald, October 1918
