RESEARCH WORK.
Anti-tuberculosis Vaccine (B.C.G.).
In collaboration with the Medical Research Council, there is
being undertaken in Leyton schools a Trial of Anti-tuberculous
Vaccine (B.C.G.).
The trial involves at the outset children leaving secondary
modern schools at the age of 15, and it is proposed to follow them
up by regular examinations for at least three years. Participants
in the trial are volunteers.
