REPORT OF THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON
VACCINATION.
After a prolonged and exhaustive inquiry of more than seven years’
duration the final Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination
was completed last August (1896), just a century after Jenner’s first
vaccination.

the inquiry, and was replaced as a member of the Commission by
Mr. Bright (late M.P.), in 1891.

their places were not filled.
The final Report was signed by the following eleven of the
remaining thirteen Commissioners:—
Lord Herschell.
Sir James Paget.
