HC Deb 29 July 1957 vol 574 c100W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health what information he has received of inoculated children developing poliomyelitis during recent outbreaks.

Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

During 1957 six cases of poliomyelitis, three of them paralytic, have been reported in England and Wales in children who have had two injections of vaccine. So far, enough vaccine has been issued to local health authorities in England and Wales for the vaccination of over a million children.
