§ Mr. Hobsonasked the Minister of Health if he is satisfied that there have been no ill-effects amongst school children resulting from their inoculation with polio vaccine; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TurtonVaccination has not yet started, but I am satisfied that the safety tests which the British vaccine will undergo should preclude any danger to school children or others who are to be vaccinated. In the United States and Canada, which have the largest experience of using poliomyelitis vaccines, there have been no untoward reactions with the use of vaccine which has passed the present stringent safety tests.
