3. Any public vaccinator may be suspended at any time from the exercise of his duties by the Superintendent for reasons of inefficiency or for any other reason which in the opinion of the Superintendent may interfere with the proper performance of his duties as such public vaccinator. Every such suspension with the reasons therefor shall be reported in writing to the Governor forthwith.
4. No material other than vaccine lymph provided by the Government or specially approved of in writing by the Superintendent shall be used for vaccination.
