§ Mr. LoughlinThe figure of children born in 1964 who have received primary vaccination in England and Wales is not available, but the recorded primary vaccinations of children under two years of age in 1964 as a percentage of the children born in 1963 is 32 per cent. There were no deaths from smallpox; the number of deaths attributed to vaccination was three, all in the age group 0–5.
