d2f76461-de41-4005-b030-4233197fa9f2 | In addition, all our previous ways of contacting parents were continued: (1) A notice was sent to the parent of each notified birth when the child attained the age of 6 months. (2) All Infant Welfare attenders were approached. (3) All children admitted to Day Nurseries were offered protection. (4) Health Visitors combed their districts for children who did not attend Welfares and urged their protection. (5) Head Teachers gave forms of consent to new entrants. (6) Prior to school medical inspection sessions, questionnaires were sent to each parent asking, inter alia, whether the child had been inoculated. If the answer were in the negative, a form of consent was sent to the parent. All immunised cases are followed up and, at the end of three years, each child is offered a boost dose. After the age of 11 years, this is preceded by a Schick test. |
0c20b923-ee2f-40c6-9f02-cbf44805ed39 | All children under 5 who have not had the disease, are inoculated against Whooping Cough at the same time as they are inoculated against Diphtheria, i.e., they have three doses of protective material at monthly intervals. There were only 25 notified cases of Whooping Cough and 10 cases of Diphtheria in 1945, which is very little for a Borough with a population figure for children under 14 of 10,610. 19 Two of the 10 cases of Diphtheria had been immunised. One of these cases was very mild, but the second had a sharp attack and, but for having been inoculated, might have died. Both were school children. One case was a carrier and an adult, the remaining 7 were school children and had not been immunised. 7 of the 9 children attacked, attended Berrymede School, one attended Priory, and one the Central School, but both lived in South Acton. |
d47cdbcf-1347-4178-9919-a6c268c00cfc | It is precisely in this area that our percentage of immunised child population is lowest and where we find it most difficult to obtain consent for inoculation. 8 families only were affected, two brothers in one family, and two sisters in another becoming infected at the same time. 45% of the population under 5 years of age is now protected, and 61.5% of the population aged 5 to 14. These figures are still not good enough and no effort will be spared to improve them. Diphtheria Immunisations, 1945.

SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA. Water Supply. The Borough is supplied with water by the Metropolitan Water Board. The supply has been satisfactory and the whole of the population is supplied from the public water mains direct to each house. Drainage and Sewerage. All the dwelling houses are provided with water closets and are drained into the main sewerage system. By arrangement with the London County Council the sewage is discharged into the London sewers. |
ce7d6c4d-d461-4dde-9d35-4e1e97f305ea | Storm water is filtered and emptied into the Thames. Public Cleansing. The amount of house refuse collected by the Council in 1945 was 13,163 tons, of which 1,860 was salvage. Trade refuse collected amounted to 1,441 tons, and a total weight of 12,744 tons was burned by Destructor. Rodent Control. Work of rats and mice disinfestation has been intensified, particular attention having been paid to every complaint as to the presence of rats at or in the vicinity of any premises, and the immediate treatment and consequent destruction of the rodents has prevented serious infestation. The policy of maintained treatment at business premises, especially in food factories and warehouses, is being pursued with the hearty co—operation of the occupiers, and there is no doubt as to the value of this work as reflected in the saving of foodstuffs, materials and structures. |
d04643e3-0851-497f-abf6-bdc65872281c | The general work has entailed a total of 1,084 visits, 703 to business premises and 381 to dwelling houses, in addition to inspections by the Sanitary Inspectors as noted elsewhere. 26 Sanitary Inspection of the Area. The following Table includes the tabular statement furnished by the Chief Sanitary Inspector under Article 27 (18) of the Sanitary Officers (Outside London) Regulations, 1935. Tabular Statement of Inspections and Detail of Work Carried Out by Sanitary Inspectors. |

The prevalence of dry rot in house timbers—largely a legacy of wartime conditions—occasioned much time and labour for the Sanitary Inspectors in securing the information necessary for the granting of certificates of essentiality and building licences, in addition to the general estimating of the cost of works in every case where service of notice upon the owner was necessary. In this connection, four of the Sanitary Inspectors 27 voluntarily took a three months' course of estimating, and the knowledge gained facilitated this special work, normally outside the Inspector's sphere. |

Upwards of 30,600 tins of meat, fish, fruit, milk, etc., and a quantity of raw and preserved food of various kinds were surrendered as unfit for human food. In addition, large quantities of meat, fish and milk out of condition and not suitable for retail distribution were received into the Borough for manufacturing purposes, and the whole of these foodstuffs received special and detailed attention from the Sanitary Inspectors. |
beae923b-6bb2-49cd-be7e-a69576201568 | Approval for manufacturing purposes was given as appropriate, particularly with regard to meat and milk, and salvage where possible was arranged by way of animal feeding so far as canned fish, vegetables, etc., were concerned. The total number of cans referred to were made up largely of condensed milk collected from various retail premises in other districts and returned to a warehouse within the borough. 29 Milk. The fourteen dairies within the borough have been regularly inspected and have been maintained in a hygienic condition, and in no case has there been any complaint as to the milk distributed therefrom. During the year, practical reconstruction of the dairy, installation of new pasteurising plant and renewal of bottle—washing and filling machinery were completed at the milk bottling depot in Bollo Lane. Inspection of the premises and plant and the results of sampling from time to time of the processed milk have shown a very high degree of efficiency in the dairy, and no complaint has been received with respect to any milk or bottle distributed therefrom. |
a72c372b-1bfe-48c0-8b54-2fa72d0b70aa | Much attention has been devoted to the inspection of milk bottles, with a view to ensuring the distribution of a clean and wholesome milk supply. A number of complaints were received as to the presence of foreign matter in milk in bottles and as to dirty bottles containing milk, delivered from dairies outside the Borough, and these were reported to the Public Health Committee, when appropriate action was authorised. In the cases of two bottles of milk the firm who sold the milk in dirty bottles were prosecuted under the Food and Drags Act, 1938, for having sold milk unfit for human food, and fines of £25 and costs were imposed on the firm in respect of each sale. Six samples of milk were taken from premises or roundsmen in the borough, and on submission to bacteriological examination all were found to be satisfactory samples. |
298c8c43-be07-46ba-9c3c-560fefa77746 | Including the regular sampling of pasteurised milk at the bottling depot in Bollo Lane, 146 samples have been taken from premises and roundsmen, and on submission to the prescribed Phosphatase Test, in each case the milk was proved to have been properly pasteurised. Water. Five samples of water were taken and submitted for examination, three as to bacteriological and two as to chemical content, and in every case the result showed the sample to be satisfactory. Diseases of Animals. In the course of the year there occurred outside the borough four outbreaks of Foot and Mouth Disease, in respect of which Acton was included in the Schedules of Infected Areas, and 741 licences were granted by this Local Authority for the removal of pigs into the borough for slaughter. In a number of cases, 30 persons to whom licences were granted, failed to observe the conditions of the licences when completing movement of animals, and thus control was lost. |
a8478f16-8b37-4f6f-aa94-7513c0ffc365 | The licensees were communicated with, the offences pointed out to them, and explanations called for, and these were duly submitted to the Animal Health Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries as requested, following which an intimation was received from the Secretary that no further action need be taken in the matter. Slaughterhouses. The slaughterhouses at Atlas Road and Hanbury Road have been in commission throughout the year, and the carcase and offal of every animal slaughtered have been examined as to their fitness for human food. The number of animals slaughtered is 74,606 pigs and 3,838 horses. The large increase in the number of horses slaughtered appears to indicate the growing popularity of horseflesh for human consumption. Tables showing details of meat and offal surrendered following examination by the Sanitary Inspectors will be. found on the two succeeding pages.

10b4a2c6-88fa-4239-82b8-ac726fc8f605 | Ladies and Gentlemen, We beg to submit the following report upon the schools and the school children of Acton for the year 1945. 1945 was a very busy year during which the new Education Act came into force. One of the results of this may be seen in the figures of defects treated at the Minor Ailment Clinics. The figure for 1944 was 966 whereas in 1945 it rose to 4221. If 1944 is compared with 1945, it will be seen that all the figures in 1945 are higher and in the Dental Clinics the number treated has almost doubled. All this increase of work has been done in the same inadequate and out—of—date premises at 45, Avenue Road. The pressure of space was so great that the hut in the garden, formerly in use as a School Dinner Centre, had to be renovated and brought into use. The Dental Staff will be helped by the expected return of Mr. |
78815f23-be68-45a9-8845-904e9f68f3b5 | P. H. Slater, School Dentist, from the Forces early in 1946. The appointment of an additional Health Visitor and School Nurse in September helped a little and the return of Miss J. M. Watts from the Forces early in 1946 will help the clerical staff to deal with the vastly increased records. All Clinics were open during the year and figures for each are given in the Report. At the end of the year the number of children on the roll was 5,592 and 10 Nursery Classes were open during the year. There was an epidemic of Measles during the year, 227 cases being reported from the schools. There were only 8 cases of 34 Diphtheria amongst school children and inoculation sessions were held, as formerly, once a week at the School Clinic. A description of how the Inoculation Scheme is worked will be found in the Public Health section of the Medical Officer of Health's report. |

2fef4885-7e2e-46f3-9892-3cf2ce6700b6 | An orthodontic centre was opened at Southall in September where children now receive necessary treatment. 41 44 children were referred November—December '45. In general the teeth of children between the age of three and five years are fairly good. The mouths of expectant mothers who have been in the services are in a better condition than most of those who attended the clinic. As seen from the figures below over 50% of mothers refuse fillings.

Of the 40 treated:— 11 have been discharged cured. 5 left school (3 were almost cured). 1 left the district. 1 ceased to attend at the parents' request. 2 have been temporarily discharged, but will be re—admitted if they require further treatment. 42 Of the 20 who require further treatment:— 3 have made excellent progress. 9 have made very good progress. 7 have made satisfactory progress. 1 attended very irregularly. Parental co—operation has been very good throughout the year, and it is apparent that the value of Speech Therapy is becoming more widely known and appreciated in the Borough. Eileen Richnell.

Public Health Department, Town Hall, Acton, W.3. To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Acton. Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to submit the Annual Report on the health of the Borough of Acton for the year 1946, together with the report of the School Health Service of the Divisional Executive, for the Borough. During the year the number of births has increased considerably, . but as the population is now 65,150 the number of births per thousand of the population is 19.76. |
91363d6d-5512-43cf-857e-877edd74f644 | The death rate is. 11.05 as compared with 11.5 last year. This year Infantile Mortality is 27.9 as compared with 40.4 last year, the figure for England and Wales being 46. This infantile mortality rate is satisfactory and it is to be hoped it will be maintained. 4 During the year the Acton and Wembley Joint Hospital was handed over to the Middlesex County Council as a maternity annexe to the Central Middlesex County Hospital, and the infectious disease cases occurring in Acton are now treated in the South Middlesex Fever Hospital at Mogden. Towards the end of 1946, there was an extensive epidemic of Measles in the Borough. |

Daniells left on the 20th October to enter the service of the Shoreditch Borough Council. By the end of 1946, all those members of the Health Department and School Health Services in the Armed Forces had returned to their civilian duties with the Council. I should like to thank all members of the department for their co-operation during the year, and especially I should like to call attention.to the work of Dr. Madeley during my absence in the Forces.

General Provision of Health Services in the Area. Laboratory Facilities. In April, 1946, the Emergency Medical Services Laboratory again reverted from St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, to the Pathological Laboratory at 25 Churchfield Road, West Ealing, and has continued to operate from that address. 12 The following Table gives the types, and number, of specimens submitted for examination. Type. No. of Specimens examined. Throat Swabs 793 Sputums 45 Faeces 302 Hair 2 Widals 1 Ambulance Facilities. 1946 was the first complete post-war year of operation of the Ambulance Service entirely separate, from Civil Defence. |
1dd0d371-56c8-4fde-b1a4-0b895fb46eea | The system already in use of two watches working a 24-hour shift each was continued, utilising three ambulances manned by a total of two Supervisors and ten men divided into the, two watches. The Service continued to. share the premises of the National Fire Service in Gunnersbury Lane. During the year, 1,551 cases of all kinds (including 205 maternity cases) were carried a total distance of 8,511 miles. From January to the end of October the Acton and Wembley Joint Hospital Board maintained an ambulance for the removal of cases of infectious disease. Since the South Middlesex and Richmond Joint Fe,ver Hospital at Twickenham undertook the treatment of infectious disease for the Borough, removal of cases has been done by that Hospital. Nursing in the Home. The same facilities exist as in previous years, the number of sick persons under care was 508, necessitating 14,586 visits. Hospital Provision. |
2c18c546-3c82-4292-9fda-b713a6ce8204 | Early in 1946, owing to the serious shortage of maternity bed . accommodation in Central Middlesex County Hospital, the Middlesex County Council approached the responsible officers of the Acton and Wembley Joint Hospital Board with a view to the two authorities making other arrangements for the treatment of infectious diseases in their respective areas, so that the accommodation of the Acton and Wembley Joint Hospital could be made available for the County Council to use as an annexe to Central Middlesex County Hospital Maternity department. 13 After several conferences this was agreed to. Acton made arrangements for its infectious diseases to be received into the South Middlesex and Richmond Joint Hospital at Mogden, while Wembley entered into an agreement with Hendon. The Hospital at Mogden is one of the most modern of its kind in England, the equipment is complete and up to date. |
e0b0f8e9-19fc-46e2-9734-ce02cc3a406f | A satisfactory financial agreement was arrived at, and the first cases were admitted to Mogden on the 1st November, 1946, the few remaining cases being transferred from Acton and Wembley Joint Hospital on the 30th November. The Middlesex County Council gave an undertaking that should an epidemic arise, they would assist in finding alternative accommodation for the cases. The Acton Voluntary Hospital treats both surgical and medical cases, as does the Central Middlesex County Hospital which is maintained by the Middlesex County Council. MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE. The same four Centres were operating during 1946 as Infant Welfare Clinics: (1) The School Clinic, Avenue Road. (Three Health Visitors' districts served by this Centre). (2) Steele Road Mission Hall, Acton Green. (3) John Perryn School. (4) St. Gabriel's Church Hall, Noel Road. |
8d18b6df-3ef1-4e40-9507-4b211d907208 | As in the previous year, two weekly sessions were held for each Health Visitor's district, one with a doctor in attendance, and one without, with the exception of the shared clinic at Avenue Road. where two of the Health Visitors and their districts share the two sessions and a doctor is in attendance at each. Average weekly attendances, (last year's figures in brackets): Central district 70.5(66.8) South East 66.5(73) South West 68.6(79.6) North East 67.8(76) North West 71.5 (73.7) West district 53.2 (newly formed). 14 It will be observed that the attendances are, with one exception, lower than those for last year. This may be accounted for by the formation of a new Health Visitor district, and the subsequent rearrangement of the existing districts. |
40f76d5c-6111-4197-adf4-cce834c7a4a3 | The, total number of attendances has gone up from 19,212 in 1945, to 20,814 in 1946. Attached is a Table showing the attendances at all Clinics and the visits paid by the Health Visitors to the homes. The numbers of mothe,rs and children seen and treated at the Ophthalmic and Dental Clinics are given in the School Medical Report. Health Visiting. Number of visits, paid during the year by all Health Visitors working in this area: To expectant mothers First visits 594 Total visits 967 To children under one year of age First visits 1336 Total visits 4091 To children between the ages of one and five years Total visits 3387 Infant Welfare Centres. |
091bc125-07ab-4aac-ab5d-24c7d1a07734 | Total number of children who first attended the Centres during the year, and who, on the date of their first attendance, were: Under one year of age 1136 Between the ages of one and five 123 Total number of children under 5 years of age who attended at the Centres during the year and who, at the end of the. year were:- Under one year of age 968 Over one year 1781 Total number of attendances at Centres during the year:- By children under one year of age 15,339 By children between one and five years 5,475 A total of 768 Toddlers, attended the Welfare Centres during 1946, for a yearly examination. 15 Midwifery Service. Domiciliary Midwifery was performed as in previous years by Queen Charlotte's Midwives. During 1946, 360 women were recommended for admission to Central Middlesex County Hospital for their confinements and of these, 76 had to be refused owing to shortage of beds. |
7b2fc9bf-0cc4-47f2-b0cd-735bc80f358d | A fourth Ante-Natal clinic was opened at the beginning of the year, but by the late Autumn pressure on the sessions was again so heavy that a fifth session was started in December, 1946. Number of new cases attending Clinics during year 1241 Total number of attendances made 5516 Average number attending weekly (4 clinics) 110 The following Table gives the stage of pregnancy at which the new cases reported for examination:- 1st month - 6th month 110 2nd month 45 7th month 68 3rd month 365 8th month 20 4th month 404 9th month 12 5th month 208 1232 33.2% came for examination when 1-3 months pregnant. 66.06% came for examination when 1-4 months pregnant. |
10337f0f-a87e-4aa9-9aab-a0fe5456365d | 96.8% of mothers whose confinements were notified, attended the Ante-Natal clinics in the Borough, the, great majority being referred either to Queen Charlotte's Hospital or Central Middlesex County Hospital at the 36th week of pregnancy. 9 patients who attended were found not to be pregnant. The arrangements made by women for their confinements are tabulated below: Confined in Central Middlesex County Hospital 35.3% Confined in Queen Charlotte's Hospital 13.3% Confined in other Hospitals 5.6% Confined in Nursing Homes 8.5% Confined at home (Queen Charlotte's Midwives attending) 36.28% Evacuated to Emergency Maternity Hostels 1.02% 16 Exacuation of expectant mothers took place as follows:- January 2 July 2 February 3 August - March 3 September - April 1 October - May 1 November - June 1 13 Post Natal Clinics. |
bf9884a5-6800-4049-927a-25aef02aa4c2 | The majority of women had their post natal examination at the hospital where they were, confined, those confined at home being examined at Queen Charlotte's Hospital. 20 women attended our clinic for their examination. Birth Control Clinics. As in previous years, arrangements for this purpose, with the North Kensington Women's Welfare were continued, 5 patients being sent there for advice in 1946. Sterility Clinic. During the year, 2 patients were referred to this clinic at North Kensington Women's Welfare. Exercises Class for Mothers. The popularity of these classes is steadily growing and they have aroused very keen interest and support from the, Central Middlesex and Queen Charlotte's Hospitals, as also the Domiciliary Midwifery Service. The exercises themselves and the informal talks and instruction given at the classes have been found to be of the greatest value, both to the mothers and through them to the midwives. |
155ad6c2-0f37-4a04-804d-d9122f18dc4c | The number of mothers who attended during 1946 was 160, and the total number of attendances made was 1212. In addition, three evening talks were given to prospective fathers, at the request of some of the women attending the exercises class. These also met with real appreciation and requests have been received for more to be arranged. 17 * Food Sales. During the year, the Maternity and Child Welfare Centres supplied the following quantities of milk foods: For Sale 29,205 lbs. Free 216 lbs. The Food Executive Officer has very kindly supplied the following figures of milk and vitamin preparations, issued by his department to expectant and nursing mothers and to children: Orange Juice 68,127 bottles (54,661 last year). Cod Liver Oil 12,975 bottles ( 7,197 „ „ ). Vitamin Capsules 3,849packets( 2,117 „ „). National Dried Milk 14,203 tins (11,374 „ „). Home Help Scheme. |
645ef356-7a9a-4c43-b13c-87515afc1d53 | At the end of the year there were 3 full time Home Helps. The following Table shows the number of cases booked and those actually attended: Number of Cases booked 88 (67 last year). Number of Cases attended 63 (54 „ „). Number of Cases cancelled 25 (13 „ „). Domestic Help Scheme. By the end of, the year there was a staff of 4 full time and 2 part time Domestic Helps. 88 cases were attended as against 58 for the previous year. Day Nurseries. In December 1945, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education issued a joint circular setting out their post war policy with regard to the care of children under 5 years. |
21416834-1494-481a-a837-a5072016325c | The view was accepted that the proper place for a child of under 2 was at home with its mother, and that under normal peace time conditions mothers of such young children should be discouraged from going out to work, but it was also recognised that this ideal could not be attained for some time in view of the continuing need for employment of women in industries vital to 18 production for essential home requirements and for export trade. It was proposed that for the transitional period there should be an expansion of nursery schools and nursery classes., accompanied by a corresponding diminution in the number of day nurseries and, where necessary, the development of subsidiary services such as occasional creches, daily guardians, and evening "sitters in." As the provision to be made was a combination of measures, some of which were within the province of the local education authority and others within that of the Welfare authority, Councils were asked to arrange conferences between the two authorities, in consultation with the Ministry of Labour a'nd National Service, and to submit schemes for approval. |
7bed4597-acc8-4d44-9385-60da5e3a805a | It was stressed that the matter should be dealt with as one, of urgency, since the financial arrangements whereby the whole of the approved expenditure on war time nurseries was reimbursed by the Exchequer would come, to an end on the 31st March, 1946, after which date financial assistance by the Government would take the form of a grant of just under 50% of the costs, and the balance would be borne by the local authority. A report was submitted to the February meeting of the Child Welfare Committee, setting out the position in the Acton nurseries, where the total number of places provided accommodation for 258 children and there was an existing waiting list for a further 238 children. A certain number of children on the registers of the nurseries were residents of neighbouring boroughs, the mothers being employed in Acton, but it was decided that in view of the heavy expenditure falling on the local authority, the parents should be asked to find nursery accommodation in the boroughs where they resided. |
0a2437a9-4f08-49d4-878c-8b0eecc6a72d | A proposal was submitted that the nurseries at Bollo Bridge Road, Horn Lane, and Friars Place Lane should be retained as such, and that "Longcot" and "The Maples" should be handed over to the local education authority to be, used as nursery schools. The owners of No. 1 Birkbeck Road (which had been used to accommodate the 0-2 group of the combined "Maples" and Birkbeck Nursery), had asked for its release from requisitioning in order that it might be put to its former use as a doctor's surgery, and it was felt that the Council should comply with this request. After further careful consideration, it was decided that the exclusion of children under 2 years of age from "Longcot," in the event of its transfer to the local education authority, would cause hardship in a number of cases, and it was eventually decided that the nursery should be retained. |
3f9db608-d169-40be-b174-d6cdb41117f0 | As this nursery was used by Acton and Chiswick mothers in about equal proportions, it was considered that the Brentford and Chiswick Council might reasonably be 19 expected to contribute a corresponding part of the net cost, and a financial agreement to that effect was concluded. The nursery position therefore, from the 1st April, 1946, was as follows: Bollo Bridge Road, Horn Lane, Friars Place Lane, and Longcot were retained as Day Nurseries. "The Maples" was transferred to the local education authority as a nursery school, while the 0-2 group from Birkbeck Road were dispersed among the remaining, four nurseries. The charges for admission were raised to 8/6d. per week, made up of l/6d. per day, Monday to Fridays, and 1/- for Saturdays. The following Table gives the average daily attendances at the Nurseries: Under 2. Over 2. |
79741744-a603-4eb8-b48f-36f7c55fe089 | Bollo Bridge Road 14.1 15.0 Horn Lane 19.2 26.4 Friars Place Lane 10.2 29.9 Longcot 13.3 25.7 Infectious Diseases. 701 cases of notifiable disease occurred in the Borough as compared with 845 in 1945. This is a smaller total due to the fact that there were only 281 cases of Measles as compared with 519 in 1945. There were no deaths from Diphtheria or Scarlet Fever, but 1 death from Measles and 2 from Pertussis. Two cases of food poisoning were notified, but the causal agent was not traced; investigations were carried out into the 12 cases of Dysentery notified. Diphtheria Immunisation. Immunisation was carried out as before along the lines indicated in previous reports. Advertisements were placed monthly in the local paper, giving times and places of inoculation clinics, and 20 posters were displayed in prominent places. |
1f1a6a8f-c644-4418-a778-8a90dc5b76ba | In addition to this, the following routine was practised: (1) A notice was sent to the parent of each 6 months old child. (2) All Infant Welfare attenders were approached. (3) All children admitted to Day Nurseries were offered protection. (4) Health Visitors combed their districts for children who did not attend Welfares, and urged their protection. (5) Head Teachers gave forms of, consent to new school entrants. (6) Prior to school medical inspections, questionnaires were sent to each parent asking, inter alia, whether the child had been inoculated. If the answer were in the negative, a form of consent was sent to the parent. All immunised cases are followed up and, at the end of three years, each child is offered a boost dose. At the age of 11 years or over, this is preceded by a Schick test. |
d0e96167-9e8a-4e0f-8aa1-63c66f22091a | All children under 5 who have not had the disease, are inoculated against Whooping Cough at the same time as they are inoculated against Diphtheria, i.e., they have three doses of protective material at monthly intervals. There were, 34 notified cases of Diphtheria, but of this number 12 were not confirmed at the. infectious diseases hospital. Of these non-confirmed cases, 7 children out of a possible 9 were immunised, but of the 3 adults none, had been immunised. Of the remaining 22 notifications, 15 of the children under 15 years had not been immunised, and 2 children aged 5 and 13 years respectively who had been immunised had mild attacks. Of the 5 over 15 years, none was known to have been immunised. There was 1 carrier who had been immunised and received treatment in hospital. |
