HC Deb 18 December 1968 vol 775 cc397-8W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many children have been vaccinated against measles since the introduction of the present campaign; if he is satisfied with the availability of supplies of vaccine and the rate of progress of the campaign; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross:

I have asked local health authorities for a return of the number of children vaccinated against measles as at 31st December, 1968. When the information has been collated I shall write to the hon. Member.

Apart from initial difficulty at the beginning of the campaign supplies of vaccine are now adequate, and all demands by authorities are being met.
