Increase in the number
of operations performed by-
each Vaccinator in the
Delhi district.
13. In his review of. the note on vaccination for last year His Honor
the Lieutenant-Governor: noticed the very small number of
operations performed by each Vaccinator in the Delhi dis-
trict. During the year under review the number per-
formed by each Vaccinator in this district was 1,865 or
almost double that of the previous year. This is satisfactory in so far as their
work is compared with that of 1891-92, but it is still considerably below the
average of the Province.

14. The percentages of successful primary vaccination and re-vaccina-
tions in 1892-93 by the District Staff, as compared
with 1891-92, is given in the margin. With the
exception of the districts of Simla, Shahpur and
Gujránwála, in which the percentages of successful
primary vaccinations amounted to 82.09, 86.60 and
86.84 per cent. respectively, of the total primary vaccinations, the percentages in
the remaining 28 districts varied from about 90 to 99.35. The percentages of
successful re-vaccinations in several districts, notably in Delhi, in which it was
92.12, were exceedingly high. In Dera Gházi Khan on the contrary, the per-
centage was very low, viz., 13.79. In the districts of Lahore, Hissár,
Jullundur and Ludhiána it was much below the average, being about one-half
of the provincial rate. It is difficult to reconcile these extremes, and no satisfac-
tory explanation is offered; they seem to depend upon what each individual
Vaccinator considers successful as there are no means apparently by which these
statements can be verified.
