    School children are offered immunisation against diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis. In addition they are offered B.C.G. vaccination against tuberculosis when they are attending the Secondary schools. These immunisation programmes are subject to frequent alterations as new vaccines are developed. They require considerable organisation and compiling of detailed records. Most schools need to be visited several times a year to complete courses of inoculations at correctly spaced intervals between each injection. All this is made possible by the school staffs whose willing co-operation I greatly appreciate. Shown below are figures for immunisations carried out by general practitioners and local authority staff in my area during 1963c • W »»■* -» Primary Vaccination Smallpox Vaccination Total\ Revaccination ~ • -i.r —CM Total Under 5 5-14 15 & Over 87 Under 5 i 5-14' 15 & Over 99 i T 3 3 Primary Courses Tetanus.
