The statement speaks for itself. The total number of villages visited by
the Superintendents, Deputy Superintendents, and Inspecting Vaccinators was
21,353, and the number of cases inspected by the same agency amounted to
1,096,935 out of 1,638,558 persons vaccinated, or a percentage of 66.9. Of the
Government vaccinations, 63.3 per cent. were inspected on the whole. The
lowest proportion inspected is 41.1 in the Orissa circle, and the highest 84.8
in the Ranchi circle. In the Eastern Bengal, Orissa, and Behar circles the
number verified is certainly much less than it ought to be, but it must also be
noticed that the Superintendents had alone inspected the cases in Behar and
Orissa. In Eastern Bengal the Deputy Superintendent is reported to have been
ineffective from illness during half the season. Among the licensed vaccinations,
the Metropolitan circle officers inspected 94.7 per cent., and in the remain-
ing four circles there were inspected on an average 33 per cent. In the
Eastern Bengal circle, which returned 115,561 operations by licensed vaccin-
ators, 16 per cent. of cases have only been verified. This result can hardly be
considered satisfactory. Recorded results of licensed vaccinations which are
not verified by the regular establishment are untrustworthy. No report has
been made regarding vaccinations inspected and verified in Calcutta and its
suburbs.
The inspection of dispensary vaccination by Civil Surgeons was nominal.
Of the 66,645 operations returned by them, the Civil Surgeons have examined
5,947 cases, of which 5,261 are returned as successful. The percentage of
inspected cases as compared with the total number vaccinated is 8.9, and
the percentage of successful cases verified by them is 88.4. In some of the
districts, however, no record was kept of the inspection. The number of
villages or stations visited by Civil Surgeons is reported to have been 144.
12. The proportion of verified successful cases does not materially differ
from those recorded in the general statement. In the Eastern Bengal circle
it is, however, to be observed that the Superintendent, who examined 1,360
cases of licensed operations, found 98.8 per cent. successful ; the Inspecting
Vaccinators, who examined 17,224, found 91.8 per cent. successful; but in the
entire number of cases returned, viz. 115,561, a rate of 98.99 has been
exhibited in the general statement.
