HC Deb 06 August 1975 vol 897 c254W
Mr. Frank R. White

asked the Secretary of State for Socal Services whether inoculation against rabies is readily available within the Bury metropolitan district of Great Manchester for those wishing to be inoculated before travelling to areas in which this disease is prevalent.

Dr. Owen

I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to the hon. Member for Epping Forest (Mr. Biggs-Davison) on 11th April, since when two cases of rabies have been confirmed.

If there are special circumstances which make rabies vaccination advisable it can be undertaken by general practitioners.—[Vol. 889, c. 499.]
