VACCINATION.
The duties under the Vaccination Acts and the Vaccination
Order were carried out by the Public Health Department.
The Return for 1938 shows that 1,581 Infants were
vaccinated, this being 66.2 per cent. of the Births and compared
with 62.8 per cent. in 1937.
No proceedings under the Vaccination Acts were instituted.
