Of the 390 patients:
(1) Two children who attended at the clinic were not treated: the first
refused ; the second was too young (under 1 year of age).
(2) 141 older patients were given a preliminary (anterior Schick) test
in order to see if they were already immune and therefore not need the injections.
Of these, 140 re-attended for reading of the test.
Of the 140,
120, or 86 per cent., were positive
20, or 14 per cent., were negative.
The age distribution of the preliminary-Schick tested patients is shown
in Table 44.

Of the preliminary-Schick tested patients the 120 positives needed
immunisation.
Of these
9 had 1 injection only (3 were still under treatment at the end of the year).
13 had 2 injections only (12 were still under treatment at the end of the year).
98 completed the course of 3 injections.
Of the 98 who completed the course,
51 were awaiting final (posterior Schick) test at the end of the year.
9 had not attended for final test.
38 had been finally tested.
Of the 38:
30, or 94.7 per cent., were negative (i.e., protected).
2, or 5.3 per cent., were still positive.
