VACCINATION
The Vaccination Acts have been repealed. Vaccination
against smallpox is performed on request, without charge, by
doctors who have signified their willingness to carry out this work
under the National Health Service Act, 1946. In addition, in certain
cases, vaccination can be carried out at the County Council's clinics.
The vaccination of all healthy infants between 4-6 months of age
is recommended.
HOME HELP SERVICE
Help can be provided in cases where an emergency arises in the
home, and in cases of confinement taking place at home.
Payment for this service is assessed according to income.
Further details of this service may be obtained from the Area
Health Office, County Buildings, Uxbridge.
DAY NURSERIES
The main function of the County Council's Day Nurseries
remains that of enabling mothers to assist the national effort by
taking up employment outside the home. Forms of application
for admission can be obtained from the Nurseries or from the Area
Health Office; but at present each nursery is full to capacity and
there are large waiting lists.
