It is unwise to have the protective treatment without the final
test; all good work is tested before being passed as fit.
Will the Protecting Injections Upset the Child?
Not one of 100 children is unwell after the injection: only
occasionally is a child slightly unwell for a time. There is no sore
at the point of injection and no scar left.
Where and When Protection Can be Obtained.
The Poplar Borough Council has provided the means of protection
against diphtheria for children in this Borough. It is for
parents and guardians to use the means, for success depends on the
co-operation of the parents.
