Only one man has agreed to be done at the laundry where
the patient worked, so that the Public Vaccinator for that District
will not call.
The other laundry do not wish the Public Vaccinator to attend
at their premises, and Contact "C," who works there, has
not herself been to Poplar Avenue during the past six weeks.
The usual posters and leaflets are being distributed.
In addition to those contacts being kept under observation
as regards the Hackney case, there are two contacts from a case
notified from Margate, and one from a case notified from the
City Road, now under observation.
