    The following table shows the position in the various Countv Districts and Health Divisions both as regards the total numbers of children who have been immunised at any time, and also as regards those who have been immunised (U‘ re-immunised during tlie last five years. A comparison of the figures given in this table with those of the previous year shows that there has again been some im])rove- ment in the overall position. Nevertheless, although now Sl^o of the child pof)ulation have been immunised at some time, still only 54*% have been immunised or re-immunised during the last five years, and therefore only just over half of the ehildren in the County can be regarded as Ixung really adetpiately protected against tliphtheria by virtue of reeent innoeulation. In some districts, the position is (piite good, e.g., Beverley M.H., Hedon M.B., Haltem- price (,M)., Norton H.D. and Poeklington H.l)., all showing more than G5% of the (‘hild population as having an Uj)-to-date protection. On the other hand, in some other Districts there is room for con- siderable improvement.
