SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICE:
The following extracts from the Annual Report of the School
Medical Officer for the Forest Division are of interest:-
"I have always considered the B.C.G. Vaccination and
Tuberculosis Case-Finding Schemes to be worth-while. The
discovery during the year of a case of tuberculosis through a
positive re-actor is of course a vindication, if one is needed,
of the time spent on these schemes. The continued support of
parents is also most encouraging.
