M 119
In Hong Kong we suffer the disadvantage of having no central treatment centre at which administration of vaccine could be carried out on the more seriously bitten cases. This is important in the proper classification of cases and in watching for and noting the early signs of "paralytic" reactions. To the best of our knowledge, no such accidents have yet occurred after the use of our vaccine.
