(v) Epidemic disease
There w&s an epidemic of smallpox early in the year.
The number of cases of smallpox officially reported and
treated at the Quarantine Station during the year was 193
with 14 deaths 5 the attacks were of moderate severity,
there being only 5 cases of the confluent type and 6 with
eye complications. Cases and contacts, on being notified,
were conveyed to the Quarantine Station. Those requiring
vaccination and re-vaccination were given immediate
attention.
Apart from smallpox, there has been no definite
epidemic except a type of mild influenza, and such an
unusual amount of malaria that it has almost amounted to
an epidemic. This was due to the abnormal humidity and
the absence of the usual amount of cold.

(vi) Vaccination
In addition to routine vaccination carried out by
the hospitals in Bahrain, a house-to-house vaccination
campaign was carried out by the State Medical Officer.
Mftny men, women and children were discovered unprotected
and were vaccinated on the spot. This measure appears to
have contributed to the decrease in the severity of the
disease during the year under report as compared with 1941.
14. Post Office
Mr. Kanwar Singh held charge as sub-postmaster from
the beginning of the year until the 15th November 1942
when he proceeded on leave, tfr. Hajab All, Clerk,
officiated as sub-postmaster from the 15th November to the
end of the year.
