between vaccinated and unvaccinated is shown in the following table:—
| No. of Cases. | Deaths. | Mortality Rate per cent. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vaccinated in infancy | 342 | 51 | 15 |
| Unvaccinated | 99 | 37 | 37 |
| No definite evidence of vaccination | 5 | 1 | 20 |
| 446 | 89 | 20 |
The relative excess of mortality among the unvaccinated
therefore continues. It may be added that so far no cases have
occurred among the medical, nursing or administrative staff engaged
in dealing with the patients.
