§ Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Health how many death certificates were received during the year 1932 on which vaccination or vaccinia was mentioned as a cause of death; and what were the ages of the persons to whom these certificates referred?
Sir H. YOUNGThree such certificates were received in 1932. The ages of the deceased were three months, five months and six months, respectively. In addition, there were five cases in which the practitioner had entered vaccinia or vaccination as one of the causes of death, but where in the course of the customary inquiries it was ascertained that neither vaccinia nor vaccination had contributed to the fatal issue and the original certificate was withdrawn.
