A third and older member of the family, it is interesting to note,
had been found to be naturally immune and did not contract the
disease.
Of the children immunized during 1935, over 200 have since
received certificates, but these will, of course, be included in next
year's figures.
In conclusion, it is very gratifying to note the high percentage
of children who have been sent to the clinic without much
propaganda requiring to be done, and without any attempt to
frighten parents into taking advantage of this service.
