In addition, many people consulted their own doctors and were vaccinated by
them.
During the "rush", a daily personal collection of vaccine was made from Colindale
Public Health Laboratory, and by this arrangement we were perhaps fortunate
in getting adequate supplies for the demand.
Our technique of vaccination was good and very few cases of "vaccine fever"
came to our notice.
I should like to take this opportunity of thanking my staff and all the various
voluntary helpers for their assistance In making this major operation so successful
It is lamentable that a "scare" is needed to stimulate the general public to
take advantage of the excellent facilities afforded by the medical services in this
country to get protection against the various infectious diseases, the ravages of
which have been so minimised in recent years by our immunological procedures.
I shall only be satisfied when every child on reaching the age of 12-14 months
has been protected against this killer disease by such a simple procedure of scar ■
fication of the skin.
