DIPHTHERIA
For the sixth year in succession no case of Diphtheria occurred
in the District.
DIPHTHERIA IMMUNISATION
1,324 children were immunised for the first time and 2,238
received subsequent reinforcing doses during the year.
These figures are slightly higher than last year's figures, but
the number of parents accepting this service for their children is
not yet sufficiently high to warrant any sense of security.
WHOOPING COUGH IMMUNISATION
1,001 children were immunised against Whooping Cough for the
first time during the year, and 164 received subsequent re¬inforcing
doses.
It is encouraging to record that these figures shew a considerable
increase on those for last year.
