HC Deb 28 November 2000 vol 357 c495W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what steps his Department and the War Pensions Agency intend to take to prevent soldiers from contracting vaccine-related illnesses in the future; and if he will make a statement. [139725]

Dr. Moonie

We endeavour to reduce the possibility of vaccine-related illnesses by offering vaccinations only when there is a justification for their use; by using only UK licensed vaccines, as far as possible; endeavouring as far as possible not to give multiple vaccines concurrently; and training MOD medical staff in the correct administration of vaccines.
