Smallpox
No case of this disease was notified during the year.
Vaccination.
The table below gives some idea of the working of the
Vaccination Act in Hainpstead since 1900. I am indebted to
the Vaccination Officer for the statistics in this table.

Note.—The number of births given as occurring in each year differs slightly from those stated elsewhere in this Report, but for
all practical purposes the difference is negligible.
* In this figure are included 299 births in the last four months of the year, in respect of which no action as to vaccination
has yet been taken. The rates for Columns 10-13 have therefore not been calculated.
