HC Deb 27 July 1897 vol 51 c1239
MR. STRACHEY

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether a board of guardians may instruct the public vaccinators in their union to give parents the option of having their children vaccinated with calf lymph instead of human lymph?

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

Public vaccinators are not subject to directions of the guardians in this matter; but they are enabled under the instructions of the Local Government Board (issued in January last) to vaccinate with calf lymph instead of human lymph whenever they so desire.
