Public Health (Smallpox Prevention) Regulations, 1917, as it was possible to refer
each case immediately to the Public Vaccinator of the district or institution.
VACCINATION.
Of the 4,432 births registered in 1929, the returns of vaccination shows that
only 2,082 infants were successfully vaccinated, while 15 were found to be
insusceptible. There were also 227 who died unvaccinated, and 1,642 statutory
declarations of conscientious objection to vaccination were obtained by the parents
or guardians; 27 vaccinations were postponed under medical authority, 172 were
removed to other districts or places unknown, thus leaving 96 unaccounted for.
The return of certificates of exemption, therefore, represents 37 per cent. of the
registered births.
Years.
Vaccination per 100
births, less infants who
died unvaccinated.
