In this district vaccine operations began in the first week of October, and
ended on the 27th March. The whole district was worked over. The plan
adopted was to divide the staff into two parties, establishing lymph (from tubes
received through the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner) at two opposite extremes of
the district, the parties then worked on and finished up at Rohtak itself. They
had two tahsíls each. This plan has been adopted two seasons running, and
has worked well. The Civil Surgeon inspected the work of each party alter-
nately. Lymph was established under his supervision, and the arm-to-arm
method was followed. Mr. Baron is glad to be able to record that considerably
less opposition was met with this season, and believes that before very long the
people will bring their children to the dispensaries to be vaccinated. He writes
in very commendable terms of the assistance rendered in the cause of vaccination
by Rái Sálig Rám, Extra Assistant Commissioner of Jhajjar, and Rái Manohar
Lál of Rohtak. The Tahsíldárs too, as also the members
of the Municipal Committee of Rohtak, * gave all the help
they could, and were indefatigable in persuading the people
to accept vaccination.
On the whole, the result may be said to be satisfactory. The Deputy
Commissioner, Mr. Steel, in forwarding the report to this office, observes :—
" I am glad to notice that vaccine operations have really made progress, and that
much of this is attributable to the exertion of the Civil Surgeon himself, aided by the present
supervisor, Jet Singh."
