In regard to Small-pox there were four actual cases and twelve
contact cases in children attending schools in the Borough. Five
schools were involved and, in addition to the usual precautions, it
was thought desirable to circularise the parents of all the children
attending these Schools and to advise them that, whilst everything
possible had been done by the Local Authority to prevent the
spread of infection, the only real safeguard was vaccination and revaccination.
The result of this action is encouraging and a large
number of children have been vaccinated.
