Up to the 8th instant the number of cases in Glasgow was 516, the number of deaths 107. Of these cases the number previously vaccinated was 394, of whom 61 died; the number unvaccinated was 115, of whom 43 died; the number of cases in which vaccination was doubtful was 7, of whom 3 died. Only 13 cases remain in hospital in Glasgow. The number of cases outside Glasgow was 180, of whom 137 were previously vaccinated, 42 unvaccinated. In 1 case vaccination was 'doubtful. I am taking steps to obtain further particulars of these cases, and will communicate them to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
