§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health whether any of the eight persons in 1938, whose deaths were attributed wholly or in part to vaccination or vaccinia suffered from post-vaccinal encephalitis; and how were the four deaths classified which were not classified to vaccinia?
§ Mr. ElliotOf the four deaths to which the hon. Member refers as not classified to vaccinia, three were classified to "other sequelae of vaccination." The remaining death was classified to measles. Of the remaining four deaths to which the 429W hon. Member refers as having been classified to vaccinia, three were attributed to either "post-vaccinal encephalitis" or post-vaccinal encephalo-myelitis." In addition to the eight deaths above-mentioned a case which was originally certified as due to "encephalitis" alone was afterwards discovered to have followed vaccination, and was therefore classified under vaccinia and will so appear in the published report of the Registrar-General.
