It must again be stressed that if this record is to be maintained, a high level of immunisation is essential. The Lancashire County Council have given the opportunity to every Medical Practitioner in the area to provide immunisation against Whooping Cough, generally at the same time as immunisation against Diphtheria. page twelve
