Age 3 years | 21 | |
Age 4 years | 16 | 8 |
Age 5 - 9 years | 54 | 117 |
Age 10 - 14 years | - | 7 |
+ This figure includes children born in 1954 but still under 1 year
when immunised in 1955.
The following table sets out the number of children immunised in each of the last five years:-
Year | Primary Immunisations | Reinforcements |
---|---|---|
1951 | 763 | 816 |
1952 | 613 | 325 |
1953 | 795 | 234 |
1954 | 746 | 284 |
1955 | 737 | 132 |
The Surrey County Council are responsible for this service
which shows a definite decrease in the number of children immunised
since 1951.
