It will be seen that there was an increase of 3,275 in the total number of operations
performed, and of 3,321 in the successful vaccinations. Coincident with this increase
the number of operations performed by each vaccinator was larger, and the propor-
tion of the population protected greater. The quality of the operations was as good as
in the preceding year. The Superintendent ascribes the increase to the operations having
been carried on in a fresh area. He also reports that the outturn would have been better
had the people come in together to get their children vaccinated instead of suiting the
time to their convenience, and had not a severe outbreak of measles precluded vaccination
being carried on during its continuance.

showing that of the total vaccinated the males and females are represented by almost equal
numbers. The protection afforded to the sexual populations also exhibits the same
feature, as indicated by the percentages in the last column.
Religion of the vaccinated.

tions for each class, exhibited in the following table:—

Relatively a larger number of Hindus than of Mahomedans were operated on, the
Christians being represented by a very small number; but with reference to popula-
tion the figures show that the Mahomedans were best protected and the Hindus next in
degree.

The figures show that the largest number of the vaccinated is represented by children
of one and under six years of age, that the infants exhibit the next proportion, and the
adults the least. The infant vaccinations, compared with the estimated births, show that a
large number of the latter remained unprotected.
Cost of vaccination.
148. The total cost of vaccination amounted during the year to Rs. 4,442-0-2, and this
sum, distributed over the successful vaccinations, yields 5 annas
and 1 pie as the value of each. The corresponding figures
of the preceding year are—total cost Rs. 4,805-9-7, average
cost for each successful case, 7 annas and 4 pie.
