The attention of all residents is drawn to the advisability of being vaccinated against smallpox without delay, a most elementary but most necessary precaution.
With the influx of refugees the dangers of epidemic diseases breaking out among an overcrowded population are greatly increased, and although the S.M.C. Public Health Department's aim is to vaccinate every refugee as quickly as possible it is, for various reasons, unlikely that the goal of 100 per cent. vaccinations can be reached. Consequently cases of smallpox are expected to make their appearance in the near future.
All those who are now resident in Shanghai are therefore urged to make the necessary arrangements with their own doctors; those not in a position to do so are strongly advised io take advantage of the facilities offered:
Foreigners:—Room 120, Administration Building, 223 Hankow Road; and Branch Health Office, 1300 Vu Yuen Road, daily during office hours (Sundays excepted).
Chinese:—Branch Health Offices at 340 Hankow Road, 667 Foochow Road, and 380 Avenue Road, daily during office hours (Sundays excepted).
This applies with equal force to all servants and employees, and residents are requested not to overlook any members of their family, or other relatives who may return to Shanghai at a later date.
Employers of mass labour requiring vaccination services should either telephone 12410 (Extension 23) or write to the Public Health Department giving full information regarding their requirements.
