§ Mr. P. Wellsasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what distinction is made in Air Ministry Regulations between vaccinated and unvaccinated and inoculated and uninoculated men in the matter of hospital treatment when they are ill or pensions when they leave the Service; and how far the Regulations require officers to make formal inquiries into the reasons men refuse vaccination and inoculation.
Mr. WardThe Air Ministry Regulations on vaccination and inoculation contain no distinctions and require no formal inquiries such as the hon. Member has in mind. They do, however, specify that medical officers should interview those who refuse immunisation and explain to them the nature and value of the protection offered.
