Vaccinations and infectious diseases log - Seaforth Home (GRS/16089)

This series contains a register used to record medical information about residents of the Seaforth Home at Somerton Park.

Children from the different age groups were accommodated in separate dormitories or nurseries.

One side of each page is a register of vaccinations given, including vaccinations for polio, triple antigen, influenza, CDT (combined diphtheria and tetanus), and gamma globulin injections. The other side of the page is a register of infectious diseases contracted by residents. Information captured includes date, name, age group and medical notes. Influenza vaccinations given to staff are also recorded.
