VACCINATION OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN BECOMES TENDER

A lively fight is likely to materialize
“ the Union of B. C. Municipalities re-
lative to the Public Health Act and
Vaccination of school children. The
Council of North Vancouver proposes
to submit to the Union the following
#esolution, which is of extreme public
importance, and the News urges all
pore to read it, and also the opinion
of the Medical Health Officer of Oak
Bay peta which is herewith re=

The North Vancouver Resolution—
“The council of the city of North Van-
couver proposes to submit to the union
of B. C. municipalities, the subjoined
resolution”. .

makes pi for school children
being exempted, in certain cases, from
the requirements of the Act with re-
Spect to vaccination”.

“And Whereas in the event of any
child not being vaccinated, on any
ground permitted by the Act, the school
authorities nevertheless, require such
child to remain away from school for
varying periods”.

“And whereas the requirements re-
Specting vaccination can only be sup-

children from vaccination, if their par-
ents conscientiously object to this mea-

sure, and when Smallpox is not pre-
valent, many people take advantage of
this provision, not because they are 59

well informed as to qualify themselves
€s conscientious objectors, but to es-
cape the possible annoyance of child-
ren with sore arms.

‘The Board of Health under authority
of the Public Health Act makes regula-
tions when any disease threatens to be-

come a menance to the community, and
these regulations in the case of Small-
pox, require the school authorities to
prevent the attendance of unvaccinated

children at a school where smallpox
exists, It is true that this may be
constructed as an attempt a the coerc-
fon of parents, but in reality it is no

more than a stimulant prompting them
to take an interest in the subject of
vaccination, and often to inform them~

selves for the first time as to the merits
of the procedure. The majority of so-
called conscientious objectors are very
easily persuaded. to protect their child-
ren by vaccination when smallpox is
prevalent, and it is only then that they
take any trouble to inform themselves
as to its value, and realize that the
alleged dangers are not due to vaccina-
tion of itself That this is so is cer-
tain from statements made by parents
to health officers. and physicians.
‘Temporary from a school in

ported on the ground that
renders the person so treated immune”.

“And whereas if such immunity does
exist, a vaccinated child runs no risk
of contagion from any person vaccinat-
eed or otherwise”,

“And whereas the reason for prevent-
ing an unvaccinated child attending
school must either be to prevent con-
tagion, or to coerce the parents into

i for va ion of

which smallpox is prevalent is an ef-
fort to prevent contagion, and espec-
jally of those children whose parents
are notsgenuinely conscientious object-
ors.

In realty there are very few people
who possess any knowledge whatever
either of smallpox or of vaccination
‘Those who write most and talk loudest
on the subject are the deluded disciples
who quote un-

the child, in spite of ob-
Jections to the treatment”.

“Be it resolved that existing legisla-
tion be amended to make it clear that
the exemption from vaccination provid-
ed for in the Health Act, carries with
it the right of such child to continue
its education uninterruptedly, and that
it is obligatory upon school trustees lo
permit each and every legally unvacc-
inated child to attend school contin-
uously”.

Retort Of Oak Bay Health Officer—
The resolution of the City of North
Vancouver submitted to me for report
is at first sight moderately logical. On
Bea ETS it would appear that
an effort is to be made to tow the same
red herring in two different streams.
One, a placid water in which no Small-
pox shark is lurking, and the other o
infected river.

reliable statistics and support them
with the opinions of lettered nonent-
ties. It is. inevitable that some
should be temporarily and others per-
manently blinded by views that are
painted in lurid colours, but by far the
largest group of people are those who
are merely careless and who postpone
the question of vaccination till the need
for it. occurs. Temporary expulsion
gives their children an opportunity to
acquire immunity by vaccination at a
time when education Is disrupted, even
though the schools remain open, for
good work cannot be done by children
who are apprehensive.

Paragraphs 3 and 4 of the preamble
take no cognizance of the fact that im-
munity conferred by vaccination is not
permanent. Absolute immunity can
only be guaranteed by successful re-
vaccination every 7 years.

so as to be truthful statements, para-
graph 3 should read, “Whereas the re-
H can
only be supported on the ground that
successful vaccination renders the per-
son so treated immune for a. varying
period of not less than 7 years”, Ahd
paragraph 4 would become: “And
whereas such immunity only exists for
a varying period of time, a successfully
vaccinated child runs risk of contagion
unless re-vaccinated every-7 years”.

cer, does not favor the North Vancouver

of his commentary letter indicate:
“The Provincial Board of Health is of
the opinion that this is of such import-
ance that cognizance should be taken
of the prayer of the petition in.so far
as its approval would affect the school
attendance, and particularly would ex-
pose pre-school children and the com-
munity in general to contagion It
is this aspect to the community as a
whole which prompts the , Provincial
Board to deal with the question”.

"physiologically considered, vaccina-
tion is a hoary bone of contention. But
there is also the financial consideration
involved, specially in government
grants based upon school attendance.
On the other hand, vaccination is not
such a positive panacea that parents
will be influenced greatly by the finan-
cial aspect of the matter, when the
health of their children is inyolyed.-Ed
