Small Pox is rare and mild amongst vaccinated
children, but a considerable number of unvaccinated
children now attend our schools who, in addition to
the risk they personally run, are a distinct source
of danger to the other children.
(7) Chicken Pox:—The incubation period is from 10 to
16 days, and the duration of infection about 3 weeks,
or until every scab has fallen off. The rash in this
disease occurs about 24 hours after the child has
been taken ill, and consists of watery pimples, chiefly
on the chest and body, but often also on the face; it
comes out in successive crops; scabs form from the
third to the fifth day.
