§ Sir WILLIAM COLLINSasked the President of the Local Government Board whether any inquiry was instituted by the Board in regard to the death of May Ellen Thody, of Hawthorne Grove, Penge, which occurred on 18th March last, and which was certified to be due to vaccination and septic poisoning; and if he will state the result of such inquiry?
§ Mr. BURNSAn inquiry was instituted in the case referred to. The child in question was vaccinated by a private practitioner; the condition following vaccination appears to have been generalised vaccinia, an extremely rare complication of vaccination.
