Three thousand six hundred and seventeen primary vaccinations were
inspected by the Civil Surgeon (Dr. F. F. Perry), of which 3,597 were found to
be successful, the ratio of success being 99.45 per cent.
On Dr. Perry's arrival at Jullundur the work of vaccination had been
commenced on the plan that had been adopted in the previous year. The
vaccinating staff being divided into two parties, both parties commencing
work in the same tahsíl, each taking half, or after completing the work then work-
ing simultaneously into the next. On commencing operations in any tahsíl the
supervisor of vaccination was required to furnish the Civil Surgeon with a list
giving the dates on which the various towns and villages would be ready for
inspection, and the Civil Surgeon, as far as he was able, made it a practice of
personally inspecting the results at the towns and larger villages. Commencing
with the Nakodar tahsíl the staff proceeded to Phillour, next into Nawashahr,
and finished up with Jullundur. The number of villages vaccinated was 1,221.
The following are the names of certain individuals from whom Dr. Perry
received special help in carrying on vaccination operations : Sardár Ajít Singh
of Aláwalpur, Zaildár Isar Singh of Daruli, Polo Rám of Jadilah, Bambu
Khán of Ráhon, Sham Singh of Talun, Mihr Nizám-ud-dín of Jullundur, Sardár
Bhagat Singh of Shahkot, and Sardár Jaimal Singh of Phillour. The creditable
manner in which native supervisor Niáz Ali Shah performed his duties is also
brought to notice. The popularity of the vaccination operations in this district is
owing, to a considerable extent, to the tact and judgment he has shown. He
has always been indefatigable in this work.
