contribution in helping the County Council to display posters,
distribute literature, etc. As the Council will be aware, the articles
which I contribute to the local press are written as Medical Officer
of Health, since I have always felt that my approach as Medical
Officer of Health should be much more potent than any approach
I can make as Area Medical Officer. In addition—and here I
believe we are in many ways unique—a letter is addressed to every
parent at least once a year, on the value of immunisation and
vaccination, so that no parent can remain unaware of the advantages
which vaccination and immunisation confer upon their children.
We consider this personal approach particularly valuable, and are
of the opinion that, very largely by this means, we have achieved
the results already mentioned.
