Smallpox.
No cases of Smallpox occurred in Fulham during
1931, but two cases were notified and the notifications
subsequently withdrawn.
A worker in a factory in Fulham, who resided in
another borough, contracted the disease but fortunately
no further cases occurred among his fellow-workers.
During the year 64 contacts of cases occurring in
other boroughs were kept under observation in Fulham.
Vaccination.
Dr. A. G. Wells is Public Vaccinator for the
northern part of Fulham and has ably carried out this
work for many years.
I regret very much that Dr. Edward Clarke, who
was Public Vaccinator for South Fulham for over
five years, resigned at the beginning of 1931, his resignation
taking effect on 31st March. His successor,
Dr. T. Duff Miller, also a Fulham practitioner, is
carrying out the duties most successfully.
Mr. H. Davies, the Vaccination Officer has supplied
me with the following statistics relating to his work,
which he has continued in a part-time capacity.
