Protection against Poliomyelitis
Protection against poliomyelitis is given at all Welfare Centres in Islington under
arrangements made by the L.C.C. "Open Sessions" are held and attendance at these is not
restricted by place of residence, hence it is not possible to give the number of Islington
residents who have attended. The following figures show the numbers of persons who have been
protected at sessions in 1959 in the whole of the Division comprising the areas of the Boroughs
of Finsbury, Holborn and Islington
