Immunization by Private Medical Practitioners.
The scheme whereby parents may have immunization carried
out by their own practitioners, remained in force. Under this scheme
the practitioner is supplied, by the Department, with necessary
immunization material free of cost and is paid a fee of 12/6 to cover
the giving of the injections. Ten children were immunized under
this arrangement.
