VACCINATION AND IMMUNISATION.- The County Council's
arrangements for vaccination and immunisation provide for a programme
throughout childhood, in accordance with advice given to the Minister of
Health by the Standing Medical Advisory Committee, involving smallpox
and poliomyelitis vaccination and immunisation by the use of combined
antigens against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus, with appropriate
reinforcing doses. The provision of facilities for immunisation against
tetanus to all residents in the Administrative County has been approved
in principle, but for the time being this form of immunisation is limited
to children up to school leaving age.
Immunisation against Diphtheria, Whooping Cough and Tetanus.—
Regular sessions for immunisation, combined with the school clinics
held for the treatment of minor ailments, were held throughout 1963 at
the Kenwood Gardens and Mayesbrook Clinics, and at the Manford Way,
Chadwell, Fairlop, Newbury Hall, Marks Gate and Heathcote Avenue
Clinics immunisation was undertaken at the infant welfare centre sessions.
In addition, approximately 66% of this work was carried out by general
practitioners.
Details of the immunisation carried out during the year 1963 are
given in the following table:—
