In all the schools more children were added to our list at
each visit and by the Summer term, the percentage at Derwentwater
Infants had risen to 69.5 at the John Perryn Infants, to
66.6 and at Beaumont Park Infants to 64.7.
The number of children re-schicked after inoculation was
1598 and of these 1591 were negative.,7 were still positive and
were given another immunizing dose. The distribution of Diphtheria
cases in the various schools is given below and comparing
it with the previous table it will be seen that the response to immunization
was best, in most instances, in those schools with the
largest number of cases,
