Immunisation Clinic.
The Immunisation Clinic of the Maternity and Child Welfare
Service was continued throughout 1934. 43 sessions were
held and 1,386 inoculations were made. 460 children were thus
afforded protection by this means.
The majority of children attending were given three injections
of immunising fluid, and 386 cases were thus fully protected.
176 additional attendances were made by 40 cases who showed
some reaction to the initial doses, and who consequently received
a longer course of smaller injections. In addition, 34 children,
whose immunisation was not complete during the year, received
52 injections.
208 Schick tests were performed, and these cases attended
once again for reading.
Tonsils and Adenoids.
During 1934, 149 children received operative treatment, as
compared with 171 in 1933.
Ringworm.
No cases of Ringworm of the scalp were referred to the X-Ray
Department for radical treatment.
Dental Treatment.

Welfare Centres are treated by the School Dentist, two afternoons
in each week being set apart for this purpose.
117 mothers and 316 infants were referred to the dental
department during 1934.
Ophthalmic Treatment.
Ophthalmic defects requiring special treatment are seen at
the special clinic each week by the School Ophthalmic Surgeon.
