ANTI-SMALLPOX CAMPAIGN ENTERING SECOND WEEK
The 1973 anti-smallpox campaign is entering its second week today.
In the first week, a total of 2,552 doses of vaccine was administered
74 on the Island, 2,217 in Kowloon, and 261 in the New Territories.
A spokesman for the Medical and Health Department said the three-week
campaign aimed at vaccinating as many members of the public as possible against
smallpox.
The drive lasting until February 24, is also intended to keep up
the community's immunity to the disease.
Free vaccinations are available at all government clinics and
inoculation centres.
