THE VACCINATION HARVEST.
The deputy-chief health officer I Dr. Frengley) to-day went into the question t of the vaccination rush with a "Star' i reporter. He estimated that during the i week ended yesterday 12.114 doees of c lymph wore ussd in the Auckland hos- i pital dfetrk-t. and that during the pre- i ceding week the tntal *vas approximately 0.000 doses. This lymph ha= been dis- ; tribated among 00 doctors, and even I , allowing that each vaccination repre- j; sonts the minimum fee of half a crown, | the average earnings for each doctor j during la*t week would be jl2o. But allowing for the very large number of private inoculations at fees ranging up to half a guinea the average medical income will have been much larger. Dr. Frengley"s estimates do not. of course, take into account the wholesale ' vaccinations which have been executed by the Department's officials and medical practitioners among tho Maoris in outlying parts of the Auckland province.
