HC Deb 03 May 1950 vol 474 c206W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that modern methods, of vaccination frequently leave no scar but are certified as successful vaccinations; and what is the position in regard to persons suffering from smallpox who have been vaccinated in this way, in respect of the vaccinal condition recorded in the smallpox register.

Mr. Bevan

My advisers know of no method that leaves no scar after successful primary vaccination. The second part of the Question, therefore, does not arise.
