HC Deb 19 October 1939 vol 352 c1052W
Mr. Leach

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the usual length of time that is given to soldiers for sick leave after the anti-typhoid inoculation; in how many cases the time allowed has been exceeded; and what untoward effects from inoculation have been recorded?

Sir V. Warrender

Soldiers are required to rest for 48 hours after anti-typhoid inoculation, and it is only exceptionally that this period of rest has to be extended. Sick leave is not necessary. Untoward effects are unusual. If they occur, they are transient in nature.
