§ Mr. A. Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for War how many cases of smallpox in vaccinated persons had beer brought to the notice of the compiler; of the recently issued bulletin to Army medical officers, which states that small pox has been seen in soldiers who were 1217W said to have been successfully vaccinated prior to embarkation; and how many cases have been recorded in men who were stated to have been insusceptible to vaccination or unsuccessfully vaccinated.
§ Sir J. GriggSuccessful vaccination, or even an attack of the disease, may not provide complete protection in all cases against a massive and highly virulent infection. This was illustrated by the figures I gave on 25th February in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Central Bradford (Mr. Leach). I am not at present in a position to give any further figures. No specified number of cases was brought to the notice of the medical officers who assisted in the compilation of the Army Medical Department Bulletin.
