REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BENGAL
so well; and this fact, and the large number of persons who obtained licenses,
furnish proof that the scheme is receiving public approval, and that the licensees
find that they can gain a living. It has already been shown that the licensed
agency operations were extended this year over additional areas.
Sex of the vaccinated.
18. The following table furnishes particulars bearing reference to the sex of
the vaccinated. The figures do not include 10,217
re-vaccinations in the circles and 6,299 vaccinations
at the cooly depôts in the suburbs of Calcutta. The sex of the re-vaccinated
has not been furnished, it not being usual to register it, and that of the coolies was
omitted to be recorded. The latter will be noted in future. In dispensary
vaccinations the results of the Azimgunge, Saidpore, Goalundo, Lalgola, and
Dehree dispensaries are excluded owing to the sexual populations in 1880-81
of these places not being on record :—

The above figures show that, relatively, with reference to the total oper-
ations of the year, the males were vaccinated in larger numbers than the females
on the whole, and in every Vaccination Circle as well as in the Municipalities
and Dispensaries, but that with reference to populations the male and female
populations were almost equally protected, and at more or less lower rates
than in 1879-80, in every circle except in the suburbs of Calcutta, where
vaccination was extended to a considerably larger proportion of both the
male and female populations, and in Orissa and Behar, where the sexual rates
were slightly higher.
Ages of the vaccinated.
19. The next table gives the ages of the successfully vaccinated, and indi-
cates the proportions vaccinated at the different ages
calculated on the total number of primary vaccin-
ations in the year: —
