HC Deb 25 February 1915 vol 70 cc379-80
44. Mr. WILLIAM THORNE

asked what is the condition as regards vaccination and revaccination of the British soldiers who suffered from small-pox in the United Kingdom between 1st August, 1914, and 31st January, 1915?

Mr. TENNANT

The history of the solitary case of small-pox which has occurred between the dates mentioned in the question is as follows: The soldier referred to who was vaccinated in infancy enlisted on the 10th August last, went into hospital on the 13th August, and was removed to an infection hospital on the following day. Had he not been taken ill so quickly after enlistment, he would have been revaccinated.
