HC Deb 07 June 1976 vol 912 c593W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now make a statement on the building up of adequate stocks of anti swine fever influenza vaccine for universal vaccination this coming autumn and winter, should it prove necessary.

Dr. Owen

I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to the hon. Member for Bedfordshire, South (Mr. Madel) on 25th May.—[Vol 912, c.109–111.]—From this he will see that the Advisory Group on Influenza has reaffirmed its previous advice that there was no indication at present for mass immunisation in the United Kingdom in preparation for the coming winter.
