(c) Other Diseases. Towards the end of the year a formal scheme was approved for submission to the Ministry of Health for immunisation against whooping cough, sufficient evidence of the value of whooping cough immunisation having been obtained to warrant the extension of facilities over the whole County. Under the scheme it is proposed to make available facilities for the immunisation of infants under the age of twelve months, through sessional arrangements at clinics and by general practitioners performing individual immunisation. Immunisation will only exceptionally be offered to school children apart from those cases needing a reinforcing injection at five years of age.
