This is considered to give the least re-action and the best results.
It can be used for adults and children alike.
Through the services of the Council 369 individuals were
immunised during 1937.
Since 1935, 957 individuals have been immunised. This is a
ery small number as compared to the population of Enfield. It
is roughly about one per cent. In the event of an epidemic those
who have been immunised would be protected, but the number is
insufficient to stay an epidemic or minimise the result of one.
In addition to the number quoted above it is probable that many
Enfield residents have been immunised by their General Practitioner
without recourse to the services of the Enfield Council for the provision
of T.A.F. and these persons are not included in the numbers quoted
above.
