Downing Street, 14th February 1872.
SIR,—I transmit to you for information in the Colony
under your Government, copies of two printed papers
on the subject of Vaccination and Re-vaccination,
which have been prepared by the Medical Department
of the Privy Council.
I have, &c.,
KIMBERLEY.

The Officer Administering
the Government of New Zealand.

At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 1st day of
December, 1859, by the Lords of Her Majesty's
Most Honorable Privy Council.
To the Guardians of the Poor of all Unions and
Parishes, to the Churchwardens and Overseers of
all Parishes, Townships and places in which the
Relief to the Poor is not administered by Guardians,
in England and Wales, and to all Medical Prac-
titioners.
WHEREAS by "The Public Health Act, 1858," and
by an Act since passed to perpetuate the same, it is
enacted that the Privy Council may from time to
time issue such regulations as they think fit, for
securing the due qualification of persons to be there-
after contracted with by Guardians and Overseers of
Unions and Parishes in England for the Vaccination
of persons resident in such Unions and Parishes, and
for securing the efficient performance of Vaccination
by the persons already or thereafter to be contracted
with as aforesaid:

295
Now, therefore, it is hereby ordered, by the Lords
and others of Her Majesty's Most Honorable Privy
Council, (of whom the Vice-President of the Com-
mittee of the said Privy Council on Education is one,)
that on and after the 1st day of January, 1860, the
following regulations shall be in force, viz. :—

1. Except where the Privy Council for reasons
   brought to their notice, see fit in particular cases
   otherwise to allow, no person shall in future be
   admitted as a Contractor for Vaccination, unless he
   possess the same qualifications as are required by the
   Orders of the Poor Law Commissioners as qualifica-
   tions for a District Medical Officer, and produce a
   special certificate, given, under such conditions as the
   Privy Council from time to time fix, by some Public
   Vaccinator whom the Privy Council authorize to act
   for the purpose, and by whom he has been duly
   instructed or examined in the practice of Vaccination,
   and all that relates thereto.
   But the production of this special certificate on
   occasion of the contract being made may be dispensed
   with, if the certificate, or some other which the Privy
   Council judge to be of like effect, have been among
   the certificates or testimonials necessary for obtaining
   any diploma, license, or degree, which the candidate
   possesses.
   And also, in respect of persons legally admitted to
   practise before this regulation comes into effect, the
   special certificate may be dispensed with, on condition
   that the contract, during one year from its making,
   continue subject to the approval of the Poor Law
   Board.
   And all persons now contracted with shall be
   deemed to be qualified to be again contracted with.

2. Under the same conditions as are appointed for
   the admission of a Contractor, any person qualified to
   be a Contractor may, on the Contractor's application,
   be admitted by the Guardians or Overseers to act as
   his occasional deputy.
   But if this admission be not part of the original
   contract, it must be notified by indorsement upon the
   contract; and at least fifteen days before it is
   intended to take effect, a copy of the proposed
   indorsement, together with all requisite evidence of
   the qualification of the person whom it is proposed to
   admit, must be transmitted to the Poor Law Board.

3. All Vaccinations and Inspections under contract
   shall be performed by the Contractor in person, or
   by some other Contractor of the same Union or
   Parish acting for him, or by a deputy, duly admitted
   as above; but at any station where the Contractor
   is authorized (as above) to grant certificates, pupils
   and other candidates, aged not less than eighteen
   years, may, in his presence and under his direction,
   take part in vaccinating.
   All Vaccinations and Inspections under Contract
   shall be performed in accordance with the annexed
   "Instructions for Vaccinators under Contract."*

4. Until some new form of Vaccination Register
   be duly prescribed, the person who performs any
   Vaccination under contract shall, on the day when
   he performs it, legibly write in his Register (as now
   provided) the letter R (for Re-vaccination) against
   the name of every person, adult or adolescent, who,
   having in early life been successfully vaccinated, is
   re-vaccinated; and shall also enter in some column,
   or in the margin of the Register, the source whence
   the lymph used in the vaccination was obtained:—
   Thus, the name, or number (if any) in the
   Register, of the subject from whom the lymph
   was taken; or "N.V.E.," if the lymph was
   sent by the National Vaccine Establishment;
   or the name or description of any other
   source.

• For these Instructions, see annexed Order of July 29, 1871.
