A paragraph has been added inviting the parent to inform the
Vaccination Officer if he proposes to have the child vaccinated by some
doctor other than the Public Vaccinator. In cases where the request
is complied with, the Vaccination Officer should add a footnote to Form H
informing the Public Vaccinator of the fact, so that the Public Vaccinator
in arranging his visits may be aware of the expressed intention of the
parent, and may be able to defer his visit to those parents if for the
convenience of his practice he should desire to do so.
