§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in the light of the increased incidence of hepatitis in many of the sub-tropical and tropical locations that are popular with British tourists, he will consider the recommendation of hepatitis vaccination for British people visiting those areas.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergAs infective hepatitis—hepatitis A—is endemic in many sub-tropical and tropical countries we advise any traveller going to such an area and possibly staying in primitive conditions to take advice from his own doctor. He may consider giving human immune—gamma—globulin injection to anyone in his opinion at risk; there is no specific vaccination against hepatitis A.
