2. Their children will be saved the risk of colds through being taken
out in bad weather, also the risk of catching an infectious
disease from other children with whom they may be brought into
contact at the Station.
3. The Public Vaccinator will be able to see the state of the child's
home, and if it is in a very insanitary condition, he may postpone
the operation ; so, also, if he finds there has been lately any
infectious disease there or in the neighbourhood.
4. Under the new system in which glycerinated calf lymph is
employed, it will not be necessary to open, for the purpose of
vaccinating other children, the vaccination vesicles which have
formed on a child's arm. There will thus be less risk of injury
to the child from dirt which might get in at the place of
opening.
With these benefits in view, as well as the increased work thrown on the
Public Vaccinator, it is not too much to say that the actual amount paid per
operation is not too high, but on the whole is reasonable and fair.
