HC Deb 18 February 1957 vol 565 cc13-4W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health why the fatal case of diphtheria in an immunised child in the West Ham area in December, 1955, has been omitted from the Report of the Chief Medical Officer for 1955.

Mr. Vosper

The case is mentioned in page 39 of the Report. I am advised that the child has not been immunised since 1945 and her death was therefore recorded in Table 1 on page 38 among those of children never immunised or immunised before 1951.
