One thousand five hundred and sixty-nine primary vaccinations were
inspected by the Civil Surgeon (Dr. J. A. Cooper), of which 1,531 were
found to be successful, the ratio of success being 97.58 per cent.
Vaccination operations were carried on from arm-to-arm. The vaccinators
were ordered to do the work from Fatahabad tahsíl, all working in one tahsíl in
two bodies. The vaccination was first established by lymph in tubes at Hissar
town by the Civil Surgeon, Assistant Surgeon and Native Supervisor on the 1st
October 1883. The supply of lymph was of good quality which enabled the
vaccinators to extend the operation from arm-to-arm to the neighbouring villages,
and then to the Fatahabad, Barwála and Hánsi tahsíls.
The Civil Surgeon inspected the children of the Hissar, Fatahabad, Barwála
and Hánsi tahsíls and was satisfied as to the genuineness of the vaccination
by personally examining the children. Dr. Cooper has ordered the Assistant
Surgeons and Hospital Assistants of each dispensary to vaccinate all the children
of the town in future. This will enable the vaccinators to carry out the district
vaccinations more strenuously and uninterruptedly.
Endemic small-pox is reported by the Civil Surgeon to have prevailed
during the winter at Hissar, Hánsi, Fatahabad and Barwála in a mild form, but
the good result of vaccination prevented an epidemic.
