HC Deb 22 July 1987 vol 120 c247W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make available to all ambulance men free vaccinations against hepatitis B.

Mrs. Currie

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises the Department on all aspects of immunisation, has considered revised proposals for amending its guidance on hepatitis B vaccination, and has referred them to its advisory group on hepatitis. We hope to be in a position to consider its recommendations, including any on ambulance staff, very shortly.
