§ MR. LUPTONI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if it is the practice for all vaccinations at all ages, and re-vaccinations, to be registered in public registers, and, if not, if he will direct that all re-vaccinations performed at the public expense shall be entered in a register, and if he will also address a request to private practitioners to cause all cases of re-vaccination, which are not at the public expense, and of primary vaccination, where not previously registered to be registered.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSEvery public vaccinator is required to enter in his Vaccinator's Register all vaccinations and re vaccinations performed by him at the public expense. It would be advantageous if private medical practitioners kept similar records, but I have no authority 1142 to ask them to do this. Every medical man, however, whether a public vaccinator or not, is required by the Vaccination Acts to give a certificate of the vaccination of any child successfully vaccinated by him. The certificate has to be sent to the Vaccination Officer for entry in the Register kept by that officer.
