comes next with 68.77. Then in order come Kalpi (Jalaun) with 63.22, Bahraich
with 58.16, Lakhimpur (Kheri) with 57.17, Jaunpur with 56.39, Naini Tal with
53.88, Gonda with 53.63 and Jhansi with 51.77. Among the worst protected
municipalities are Mainpuri with 19.89 persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000
of population, Brindaban with 21.04, Farrukhabad-Fatehgarh with 21.29,
Ghazipur with 21.34 and Nawabganj (Bara Banki) with 21.48. In Mainpuri,
Brindaban and Nawabganj the numbers, though low, show an improvement upon
those of the preceding year. In Farrukhabad-Fatehgarh the low rate is
stated to be due to the prevalence of plague and in Ghazipur to the same cause
and also because the permanent vaccinator's work being bad he was dismissed and
another man appointed in his place but the work of the latter also was not
satisfactory.
The number of successful vaccinations performed on children under one year
of age in the different municipalities of these provinces are shown in Appendix B.
Vaccination in cantonments.
15. The total number of vaccination operations performed in cantonments
in 1910-11 was 8,584—7,053 primary and 1,531 revac-
cinations—against 9,188 in 1909-10 and 10,978 in the
preceding year, the number of persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of
population during the three years being 40.64, 42.96 and 46.25 respectively. The
explanation of decrease given above applies to that in cantonments also.
Vaccination in notified areas.
16. The total number of vaccination operations in all the 44 notified areas
in 1910-11 was 12,687—11,702 primary and 985
revaccinations—against 12,065 in the same area in
1909-10 and 10,792 in 43 areas in 1908-9—the number of persons successfully
vaccinated per 1,000 of population during the three years being 34.15, 32.28 and
28.11, respectively. The increase is very satisfactory.
Vaccination Act.
17. The Vaccination Act is in force in all municipalities and cantonments
and in 37 notified areas, but the provisions are enforced
with a varying degree of energy in different localities.
General results of inspection.
(Statement V.)
18. The total number of vaccination operations inspected by the Deputy
Sanitary Commissioners and the District Superin-
tendents of Vaccination in 1910-11 was 186,674—
178,168 primary and 8,506 revaccinations—as com-
pared with 197,276 in 1909-10 and 187,499 in 1908-9—the average for the three
years being 190,483 against 179,531 for the preceding triennium. The percentage
of inspections to the total number vaccinated was 13.34 as regards primary
operations and 10.54 as regards revaccinations in 1910-11 as compared with 14.12
and 17.49, respectively, in 1909-10 and 12.93 and 12.24 in 1908-9—the average for
the three years being 13.46 and 13.42 against 10.83 and 7.48, respectively, in the
preceding triennium, which is very satisfactory. The decrease in inspections in
1910-11 as compared with the preceding two years was chiefly due to the fact that
very little inspection work could be done by the Deputy Sanitary Commissioners
inasmuch as they were required at Allahabad practically during the whole of the
vaccination season in connection with the sanitary arrangements of the United
Provinces Exhibition and the Magh Mela and plague was also responsible to a
certain extent for the decrease in inspections by the District Superintendents of
Vaccination.
The percentage of cases found successful to the total number inspected in
1910-11 was 97.26 as regards primary vaccination and 68.19 as regards revaccination
as compared with 97.21 and 70.93, respectively, in 1909-10 and 95.97 and 71.59 in
1908-9—the average percentages for the three years being 96.81 and 70.24,
respectively, against 97.28 and 82.10 in the preceding triennium. Among the
districts showing a large number of inspections of primary vaccinations in
1910-11 Azamgarh stands first with 9,186 and is followed by Gonda with 8,951.
Then in order come Partabgarh with 8,120, Jaunpur with 8,009, Bijnor with 7,586,
Pilibhit with 6,629, Aligarh with 6,548 and Moradabad with 6,546. No inspections
were made in 1910-11 in the districts of Agra, Cawnpore, Benares, Gorakhpur and
Lucknow. Only 35 operations were inspected by the Deputy Sanitary Commis-
sioner in Allahabad and 360 in Dehra Dun. In all these districts District Super-
intendents of Vaccination are not required to go out on vaccination tour.
The total number of vaccination operations inspected by the assistant
superintendents of vaccination or other inspecting officers in 1910-11 was
