Case No. 7.—This case was of an unvaccinated girl, aged 9
years, attending Roman Catholic School, notified on the 9th August.
This girl was removed to Hospital on the same day, and the
house disinfected. The contacts (including 2 children of school
age) were all followed up.
Case No. 8.—This was the case of a boy, aged 10 years, attending
Loxford School, who was found to be suffering from Small Pox
at the School Clinic, and notified on the 25th August. He was
removed to Hospital the same day and disinfection carried
out. All contacts, including 34 children attending the School
Clinic on the same morning, were followed up, and 2 brothers,
scholars at Newbury Park School, as well as the 34 other children,
excluded from attendance at school.
All the cases have made a good recovery, and I am pleased to
record that, owing to the measures adopted, no further cases
occurred.
