IMMUNISATION AGAINST DIPHTHERIA. notified cases only.
The London County Council arranged to carry out immunisation of
school children through the school medical services at schools in the
Borough as a supplementary service to the Borough Council's weekly
clinic. - Sallowing upon the issue of Ministry of Health Circular 3713,
arrangements were made for Health Visitors to follow up all children
between the ages of one and five years who had not been imunised (the
Health Visitors had already been doing this work in a slightly
different form).
In order to save travelling expenses of mothers on the Isle of
Dogs who have children under five years of age and no elder children
attending school, the London County Council Divisional School Medical
Officer kindly arranged for such children who live on the Isle of Dogs
to be dealt with through the School Organisation.
