The following table gives the school distribution of Schick testing and immunisation. It has not been possible to tabulate the results as they stood on the 31st December, but these figures show the amount of work done up to mid-February.

It will therefore be seen that up to the 18th February, 1922
children had been Schick tested. Of these 1102 were positive, and
820 were negative re-actors.
Of these 1102,—36 refused inoculation or went to their own
doctors, leaving 1066 whom we immunised. 21 refused the second
inoculation, and 16 refused the third. In addition, 843 children
were immunised without the preliminary Schick testing.
