Soap and water, followed after drying by an application of the
Benzyl Benzoate Emulsion with a further application next day.
Every attempt is made to treat all the infested members of the
family at the same time, and also to deal with the infected bed
clothing by steam disinfection. Male adults found to be infected
are sent to the Cleansing Station at Hornsey.
The results obtained have on the whole been very satisfactory,
and the Education Committee is much indebted to the personnel of
the First Aid Post for the very useful service they have rendered to
the school children in this matter.
DIPHTHERIA IMMUNISATION.
Immunisation was continued as in former years, but instead of
paying special visits to the different schools for this purpose a
regular immunisation session was held at the School Clinic once a
week to which all cases for immunisation were invited. The number
of children immunised during the year was 1,212, 730 of whom
were under 5 years of age, and 482 of from 5 to 15 years.
In concluding this report I wish again to express my thanks
to the Education Committee for the support it has given to the
School Medical Service, the Director of Education and his staff for
their co¬operation at all times, and to all the members of my own
staff for their loyal and willing service.
Your obedient servant,
MALCOLM MANSON,
School Medical Officer.
