HC Deb 23 February 1931 vol 248 c1781W
Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health if he will request the committee which he has appointed to report from time to time on matters relating to vaccination to furnish him with replies to the following queries: what is the precise nature of the disease from which vaccine lymph is derived and how is its nature determined; what is a successful and efficient vaccination and for how long can it be guaranteed to remain so; how frequently has it been found possible to repeat vaccination on the same person; what is the relation of the possibility of frequently repeating vaccination to the question of immunity; and what means are recommended for ascertaining whether the immunity afforded by vaccination has lapsed?

Mr. GREENWOOD

Forward to
