Vaccination.
The Annual Return respecting the vaccination of children whose
births were registered in Greenwich during the year ended 31st
December 1942 shows that of the 937 births of registered 445 wore
successfully vaccinated (47.5 per cent).
In consequence of war-tine evacuation schemes it was ascertained
that 294 children wore actually born outside the Borough, returning
to Greenwich aft or their mothers' confinements of this number,
200 were successfully vaccinated. Taking these figures into
consideration, it will be seen that 5.4 per cent were successfully
vaccinated during this period.
HOUSING
Owing to war-time conditions, no official action has been
taken under the Housing Act 1036. Apart from routine inspections
carried out by the Sanitary Inspectors arising out of complaints,
nuisances etc. a certain amount of time was devoted, to inspections
following first aid repairs to houses damaged by enemy action.
