CANTONMENT VACCINATORS.
Cantonment vaccination.
13. Cantonment vaccination continues to remain in a very unsatisfactory
state. I have lately made a reference to the Sanitary
Commissioner with the Government of India on the
subject, and trust that matters will improve next season. In the Eastern Circle
there are 13 cantonments, and in only two of them, namely, Umballa and
Subáthu, is there a vaccinator employed. In Umballa work was systematically
carried on under the supervision of Surgeon-Major O'Connell, A.M.D., and though
small-pox appeared in the bázár, it was speedily stamped out. Vaccination in
Jullundur Cantonment is in a very unsatisfactory state. Dr. O'Neill reports
that no vaccination was performed in the bázár, and small-pox of a virulent type
carried off many of the people. This matter will form the subject of a separate
reference to the Government.
Dr. Doyle has made no remarks in his report on the Cantonment vaccin-
ation in his circle beyond the following :—" A new post of Cantonment vaccinator
has been sanctioned for Rawalpindi. During the past season, however, the
work was done by the District staff."
The subjoined statement shows the amount of vaccination performed in
the several cantonments in the Eastern and Western Circles, and the establish-
ments entertained for performing the same :—
