HC Deb 07 May 1903 vol 122 c29
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he will state when public vaccinators discontinued the use of human lymph; and for what reason its use was abandoned.

MR. GRANT LAWSON

The use of humanised lymph by public vaccinators was discontinued at the beginning of 1899, when the Vaccination Act, 1898, came into operation. The change was made in view of the recommendation of the Royal Commission on Vaccination.
