This reduction in smallpox mortality
in as many as 16 out of the 27 districts
in the province has been chiefly due to
the persistently vigorous activities of
the local bodies, the majority of whom,
following the advice given to them by
the Public Health Department, main-
tained during the year under review,
intensive vaccination and revaccination
campaigns in their respective jurisdic-
tions, helped
by their vaccination
inspecting staff and the rural health
organisations, who gave a good account
of themselves by performing vaccinations
with their own hands as detailed in the
statement below. In this connection the
anti-smallpox campaign started in the
Malda district where about five hundred
thousand vaccinations, mostly revacci-
nations, were performed during the year
deserves special notice; the campaign is
still going on.
Both the Government special Inspec-
tors of Vaccination were kept continu-
ally on the move and visited the districts
of Malda, Mymensingh, Bakarganj,
Faridpur, Nadia, Bankura, Dinajpur
and Burdwan. I myself visited and
advised the local authorities in Bogra,
Rangpur, Mymensingh, Jessore, Midna-
pur and Murshidabad districts.
