B.C.G. Vaccination against Tuberculosis. See page 33.
Measles Vaccination
During 1967 records of completed courses of measles immunisation were received
for 402 children in the age group 9 months to 2 years. Of these, vaccine was supplied
by the department for 323 courses, of which 301 were administered in local authority
clinics and 22 by family doctors.
Protection against Enteric Fever
Children visiting abroad in school parties may obtain T.A.B. inoculation either
from their family doctor or the authority's clinics in the borough. I consider that all
undertaking overseas travel should be so protected. (See also page 14 — Typhoid
Fever).
