HC Deb 21 May 1962 vol 660 cc15-6W
Mrs. Butler

asked the Minister of Health how many deaths occurred within one month of smallpox vaccination in the recent outbreak; and how many of these deaths were attributed to complications caused by vaccination.

Miss Pitt

The information asked for in the first part of the Question is not available. Of the 17 deaths mentioned in my reply to the hon. Member for Pontefract (Mr. Harper) on 11th May six have so far been ascertained to have occurred within one month of vaccination.
