HC Deb 24 July 1935 vol 304 cc1853-4W
Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health whether any immunised or partly immunised child in Hackney has contracted diphtheria since immunisation was introduced into that borough?

Sir K. WOOD

I am informed by the local authority that five children who had had the full prescribed course of immunisation, and two who did not complete the course, subsequently developed diphtheria.
