We who are home, per contra, are going on just as
we did before the war, exemption certificates are
granted on application as though the Vaccination
Act was a dead letter, and the total of unvaccinated
children year by year is steadily mounting
up. In my report for 1913 I showed that up to
the end of June of that year—1,314,502 exemptions
had been granted throughout the country
and that we were approaching, at that time, a total
oi very nearly 300,000 unvaccinated children
being added to the population annually. As
bearing on this I have the permission of the Vaccination
Officer to state that he estimates that
there are now upwards of 15,000 unvaccinated
children in the Kingston Union.
No vaccinations were performed by me as
Medical Officer of Health during the year, under
the Public Health (Small-pox) Prevention
Regulations, 1917.
