Vaccination is usually performed by making three or four very small scratches on the muscular part of the upper arm and applying the vaccine to the scratches. In the case of re-vaccination this will produce a small pimple on the second or third day which then becomes a small blister, while on the seventh or eighth day there will be a scab or crust. There will be a small amount of itching for the first two or three days, and the child must take care not to knock the arm roughly, but there will be no ill-health, the child will be able to take its meals as usual and will be able to run about and play, so long as it does not join in rough games with its school fellows.
This re-vaccination will be performed free of cost at any of the Public Hospitals or Dispensaries or arrangements can be made for it to be done at the School. A certificate should always be obtained by the child from the Doctor who performs the re-vaccination and this should be handed to the School-master or School-mistress.
