Smallpox
Tel. 21433
Spreading Rapidly
Using the public address van, Government health workers in the past few days have been tour- ing various districts in Hong Kong and Kow- loon in continuation of the campaign designed to impress upon the population the urgent necessity, of vaccination as a safeguard against small-pox.
The response to this latest form of publicity has been very satisfactory. It is reported that the numbers vaccinated daily have risen during the week from just under 20,000 to about 25,000.
Smallpox is rapidly spreading. Many hundreds of cases have -occurred, two-thirds of which have been fatal. Anyone who hast not been vaccinated recently s strongly advised to be vaccinated immediately. Vatcinations which do not cause some slight inflam- mution do not afford any protec Lion, and the vaccine used ha's probably deteriorated.
The Government has opened many vaccination centres en both bers of the public may receive
sides of the harbour, where mem-
free vaccination.
