Vacation Barrister

See Barrister. V with the national vaccine establishment In 1840 vaccination fees were made payable out of the rates. The first compulsory act was passed in 1853, the guardians of the poor being intrusted with the carrying out of the law. In 1867 an act was passed rather to remove some technical difficulties than to enlarge the scope of the former act; and in 1871 an act was passed which compelled the board of guardians to appoint vaccination officers. The guardians also appoint a public vaccinator, who must be duly qualified to practice medicine, and whose duty it is to vaccinate any child resident within his district brought to him for that purpose, to examine the same a week after, to give a certificate and to certify to the vaccination officer the fact of vaccination or. of insusceptibility. The parent of any child bora in England must have it vaccinated within six months, except In the case of a parent who within four months of birth makes and files a statutory declaration that he conscientiously believes that vaccination would be prejudicial to the health of his child.

An adult is not deprived of the liberty secured by the 14th amendment, by the enforcement against him of a compulsory vaccination law; at least where he does not show, with reasonable certainty, that he is not at the time a fit subject of vaccination, or that vaccination, by reason of his then condition, will* seriously impair his health, or possibly cause his death; Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U. S. 11, 25 Sup. Ct. 35S, 49 L. Ed. 643, 3 Ann. Cas. 765; this case gives much historical information, as well jts a full consideration of the various statutory provisions on the subject The report of the Pennsylvania State Vaccination Commission, Emil Rosenberger, Chairman, is that the “protective power of vaccination against smallpox has been conclusively established and that vaccination is a relatively harmless procedure” (two members dissenting).
