Smallpox

Dr. D. Johnson
asked the Minister of Health if he will state the amount of lymph for vaccination against smallpox imported into this country during the month of January; from what countries these imports originated; and what has been their cost in foreign exchange.

Mr. Powell
Five hundred thousand doses from Canada and 1,500,000 doses from the United States of America at a cost of about £35,000. I have also gratefully accepted a gift of 1 million doses from the Argentine Government.
