Sanitary Report, 1893.
VACCINATION RETURN.
| No. of Births in the Year. | Successfully Vaccinated. | Insusceptible to Vaccination. | Dead unvaccinated. | Postponed by Medical Certificate. | Remov'd to other Districts | Gone away, Address not known. | Still unvaccinated. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2225 | 1517 | 20 | 209 | 21 | 6 | 160 | 292 |
The above return is in accordance with the one
always added in my Annual Report. It accounts
for all the children born and propably the greater
number, if not all, of those in the last column are
children under three years of age. I have no doubt
there are children brought into the parish who have
not been vaccinated, and of whom no information is
available. The importance of vaccination and revaccination
I think is shewn in my Report with
regard to Small Pox.
PRIVY COUNCIL ORDER, 1885.
Under the above Order inspections were made
of the various premises registered in the District.
These comprise the Cowsheds, Dairies and Milkshops.
COWSHEDS.
There are twelve separate stables for cows in the
District. Of these seven are in connection with
farmed land, and five are kept by dairymen in close
contiguity with their premises for the supply of
special milk for customers.
In the aggregate about 500 cows are kept, when
the sheds are occupied, which is only for a portion
of the year, the animals being turned out in the
fields when circumstances are suitable.
