Total inoculations given in schools in 1937 = 853.
The number immunised at the clinics during the year
increased by 119. The fall in the number of school children
inoculated to something less than half is explained by the
fact that 1936 was the first year in which school inoculation
was practised, and the number of potential acceptances in
1937 fell a corresponding amount as only about half the children
moved into the next senior department during the year.
