VACCINATION.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—Seeing so many letters written about vaccinators. 1 wish to know why is it that every doctor, in every suburb, private vaccinators and public vaccinators, have had the same trouble—that is. Hushed and swollen arms. I know of doctors taking the greatest antisepticcare who have had trouble, so I think we should ask is the vaccine free from injurious germs? Why did the members of Parliament get. complications? Surely they received good attention! I, as a nurse, used antiseptics and sterilised my needle, but I did not escape a slight flush and swelling. I consider that cither tbe vaccine contains foreign germs, or people are careless after vaccination.—l am, etc.. COMMON-SENSE NT/BSE.
