The Protection of Infants Against Tuberculosis.—II

Abstract

During the past five years we have vaccinated 7,115 people. This may seem a very inadequate number on which to base any firm conclusions, but all the newborn infants (5,215) have been seen personally by Dr... Margaret Griffiths or myself and, so far as is possible with a changing population, followed up yearly, so that many infants have already had their fourth annual check-up and tuberculin test as well as repeated chest x-ray examinations.
