particular session is automatically given another appointment when the
next list is prepared. Each week an alphabetical list is printed showing
details of all vaccinations and immunisations which have been given to
date for all children born since 1st January, 1967. This is retained in the
department so that at any time should any query concerning treatment be
raised the necessary details can be obtained at once. Details of the
procedures were sent to all general practitioners during the year and
twelve came into the scheme in November, 1968. No doubt as more and
more authorities change to computer control of vaccination and immunisation
procedures, a higher total of fully protected children will result.
The following tables show the numbers of children under sixteen who
completed vaccination or immunisation during 1968. The figures compare
favourably with those for 1967.
