The Vaccination Order, 1014.
It had been found in some cases that Form Q, set forth in the
Schedule to the Vaccination Order. 1910, has been read as implying that
a statutory declaration under Section 1 of the Vaccination Act, 1907.
is valid if made within seven days after the child is four months old.
This is not the case. The Act requires that the declaration shall be made
within four months from the birth of the child, and that it shall be
delivered or sent by post to the Vaccination Officer of the district within
seven days thereafter.
The Local Government Board have now issued an Order, dated
10th October, 1914, rescinding the Order of 1910, and substituting
a new Form Q for the Form which was prescribed by that Order.
