Diagram.
10. A diagram showing the relation between the death-rate from small-
pox and the proportion of population protected by
vaccination in each district is attached.
Vaccination in proportion to
births.
11. During the year under report the number of successful primary vacci-
nations in proportion to births was 44.37 for children
under one year, 22.15 for those over one and under
six years and 69 94 for all age periods, against 48.71, 23.90 and 76.47 respectively,
in 1907-8. The percentage for children under one year for the First Circle dur-
ing 1908-9 was 49.61 against 38.86 for the Second Circle, the percentages for the
preceding year being 59.44 and 38.38 respectively. The reasons for the discre-
pancy in the figures of the two circles have been explained in previous reports.
The statistics of Tehri-Garhwal are not included in the above figures.
Dispensary vaccination.
(Statement No. III.)
12. The total number of vaccination operations performed by medical
subordinates at dispensaries during the year under
report was only 765—297 primary and 468 secondary—
against 1,442 in the preceding year. Very little work is done at dispensaries for
reasons given in previous reports and the decrease under this head as compared
with the preceding year is explained above.
Vaccination in municipalities
13. The number of municipalities in these provinces is now 87, two muni-
cipalities (Mawana and Anupshahr) having been
converted into notified areas during the year. The
number of successful primary operations in all the 87 municipalities during 1908-
9 was 91,524,and the number of persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of popula-
tion, 32.25 against 105,221 and 38.64 respectively, for the corresponding municipal
area in 1907-8. The reasons given above for decrease in the district work apply to
municipalities also. Kashipur heads the list of municipalities showing the high-
est number of persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of population during 1908-
9 with 268.48. Naini Tal comes next with 119.97. Then in order come Lakhim-
pur with 77.15, Bahraich with 64.27, Bijnor with 60.63, Hardoi with 58.24 and
Jaunpur with 55.18. Among the worst protected municipalities, i.e. municipalities
showing the lowest number of persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of popu-
lation, Kosi stands first with 10.98. Brindaban comes next with 14.48. Then
in order come Farrukhabad-Fatehgarh with 15.74, Nawabganj (Bara Banki) with
16.16, Sikandra Rao with 16.18, Jalesar with 18.26, Bareilly with 20.35 and
Muttra with 20.40.
The number of children under one year of age available for vaccination in the
municipalities of these provinces and the number of successful operations performed
on them are shown in appendix B. In some municipalities the number of children
vaccinated exceeds the number available—the reasons for which have been explained
in previous reports.
Vaccination in cantonments.
14. The total number of vaccination operations performed in the cantonments
of these provinces during 1908-9, was 10,978—7,468
primary and 3,510 secondary—against 13,825 in 1907-8.
The number of persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of population in 1908-9
was 46.25 against 62.45 in 1907-8.
Vaccination in notified areas.
15. Since the number of notified areas in these provinces rose from 28 in
1907-8, to 43 in 1908-9, it is of no value comparing
the figures of the former year with those of the latter
in which year the total number of vaccination operations performed in these areas
was 10,792—9,761 primary and 1,031 re-vaccinations—and the number of persons
successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of population was 28.11.
Vaccination Act.
16. The Vaccination Act is in force in all municipalities and cantonments and
was applied to 35 notified areas during the year
under report,but the rules are enforced with a varying
degree of energy in different localities.
General results of inspection.
(Statement No. V.)
17. The Deputy Sanitary Commissioners and District Superintendents of
Vaccination inspected 187,499 vaccination operations
in 1908-9—171,420 primary and 16,079 secondary—
against 206,061, in the preceding year. The percentage
of inspections to total number vaccinated was 12.93 as regards primary vacci-
nation and 12.24 as regards re-vaccination in 1908-9, against 12.43 and 8.43
respectively, in 1907-8. The percentage of cases found successful to total number
inspected in 1908-9 was 95.97 as regards primary vaccination and 71*59 as regards
