HC Deb 14 May 1918 vol 106 cc202-3W
Sir A. BLACK

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether soldiers are now inoculated with a vaccine which has for its object protection against typhoid fever and paratyphoid A and paratyphoid B; how many doses of this vaccine are administered to ensure protection; and how often must it be repeated?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Two doses of the vaccine are administered, the second being given after an interval of ten days. Soldiers are re-inoculated yearly.
