HC Deb 22 January 1953 vol 510 c380
2. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Health whether he will make it practicable for school-leavers in Stoke-on-Trent to be vaccinated with B.C.G.

Mr. lain Macleod

My medical advisers, in consultation with the Medical Research Council, are now considering the advisability of extending B.C.G. vaccination to school-leavers, and I hope before long to issue advice to local health authorities

Sir H. Williams

Can my right hon. Friend tell us what B.C.G. means?

Mr. Macleod

It is the short name for a very complicated vaccine.
