Original `Notice of the Requirement of Vaccination` issued under the Compulsory Vaccination Act to all newborns under the age of 6 months. Made out to Hugh Hector MacArthur (Caoles?) on 19 Oct. 1899. None of the certificates are signed or returned to the Registrar, so perhaps Hugh Hector did not receive the vaccination.
