HL Deb 31 October 1994 vol 558 c51WA
The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether members of HM Forces are permitted to refuse vaccinations or drugs in any theatre of war.

Lord Henley

The administration of vaccines or the provision of drugs to Service personnel would normally be undertaken on the basis of informed consent. In certain circumstances, refusal to receive treatment could lead to disciplinary action.
