§ Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Health what classes of the population are advised to receive protective vaccination by B.C.G. against tuberculosis; and for what reasons this service is not extended to those leaving school.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodB.C.G. vaccination is at present offered to hospital nurses, medical students and, at the discretion of chest physicians or other appropriate specialists, to other individuals at special and known risk. Its use in the immunisation of children leaving school is at present the subject of a trial being conducted by the Medical Research Council.
§ Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Health when it is proposed that B.C.G. vaccine should be manufactured in Britain.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodI would refer to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Wokingham (Mr. Remnant) on 16th October.
