HC Deb 14 November 1929 vol 231 cc2268-9W
Mr. J. GARDNER

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the number of deaths in respect of which the death certificate includes the word vaccination, or vaccinia, or vaccine, or similar words, registered during each of the last six months for which figures are available?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The numbers of deaths are as follow:

April none
May 4
June 3
July 4
August 5
September 1

These figures include two deaths in which the words "vaccination" or "vaccinia" did not appear on the medical certificate or coroner's certificate, but which, on inquiry by the Registrar-General, were stated to be associated with vaccination, and one case in which the word "vaccination" appeared on the medical certificate in the form of a positive denial that the vaccination had any connection with the death.
