Small-pox.
No case of Small-pox occurred in Hampstead during the year.
Vaccination.
The table below gives some idea of the working of the Vaccination
Act in Hampstead 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 82 births in respect of which no legal action as to vaccination has yet been taken;
the rates for Columns 10-13 have therefore not been calculated.
