B.C.G. Vaccination against Tuberculosis
To enable the B.C.G. vaccination of school children to be integrated into the latest
schedule of immunisation, the age at which this protection is offered was advanced by
one year with the necessary adjustment being carried out during the course of the year.
School children and students were vaccinated at school and at establishments for
further education by the Department's medical staff and contacts of tuberculosis were
vaccinated at Chest Clinics in the Borough.
Young immigrants arriving in the Borough during the year were offered a tuberculin
test; where the result was positive arrangements were made for further investigation and
supervision at a Chest Clinic.
