(3) One death occurred amongst vaccinated children
between 5 and 10 years of age.
(4) One death occurred amongst vaccinated children
under 10 years of age.
(5) 37 deaths occurred amongst 314 vaccinated (includ-
ing 6 re-vaccinated) persons 10 years of age and
over, giving a percentage death-rate of 11.8.
(6) Total death-rate amongst the vaccinated, 11.7 per
cent.
(7) Amongst persons stated to have been re-vaccinated,
2 deaths only are recorded, and one death only
amongst persons who are stated to have had pre-
vious Smallpox attacks.
Unvaccinated Persons.
(1) 4 deaths occurred amongst unvaccinated infants
under 1 year of age.
(2) 3 deaths occurred amongst unvaccinated children be-
tween 1 and 5 years of age.
(3) 2 deaths occurred amongst unvaccinated children
between 5 and 10 years of age.
(4) 9 deaths occurred amongst unvaccinated. children
under 10 years of age.
(5) 17 deaths occurred amongst 40 unvaccinated per-
sons 10 years and over, giving a percentage deathrate
of 42.5.
(6) Total death-rate amongst the unvaccinated, 32.9 percent.
To estimate the true importance and significance of the above
notes, the ratio of unvaccinated to vaccinated children under 10
years of age, and of persons 10 years of age and upwards, through-
out the Borough of Lambeth, must be taken into account.
Roughly, these ratios may be taken as follow : —
(a) 1 unvaccinated to 5 vaccinated (in persons under 10
years of age).
(b) 1 unvaccinated to 12 vaccinated (in persons 10 years
of age and over).
Bearing these proportions in mind, and assuming that vaccination
is no protection (as claimed by the anti-vaccinators), the
vaccinated children under 10 years of age in Lambeth ought to
have added to the epidemic 195 cases (instead of the 11) and 45
deaths (instead of the 1). So, too, adults 10 years of age and over
in Lambeth ought to have added 480 cases (instead of the 314)
and 204 deaths (instead of the 37).
In this way it will be seen that the incidence rate upon the
population is very much less amongst the vaccinated than amongst
