stated, Delaware has made for itself
a very satisfactory standing in COM
parison with other states, but con-
slant vigilance Is necessary II this
record is to be maintained. While a
very large percentage Of the people
have received protective treatments.
health authorities must seek to ad-
minister protection to those children
who each year are entering the dam
ger period which commences at nine
months OF age. These immunizations
may be administered only at the re-
quest OF the parent or guardian. and
may then be given by the family
and by health workers at

rnentary schools.
