vaccinations in 1901-02, as stated by Captain Wilkinson in his report, was that
" a group of the vaccinators was employed during the last cold weather in the
Simla district partly in accordance with the desire expressed by the Rájas of
some of the Hill States, and partly on account of an epidemic of small-pox in
sme of these States, where the vaccinators met with considerable opposition,
and were not able to do much work."
Primary vaccinations by
the Special Staff.
20. The total number of primary vaccinations done by the Special Staff
in 1901-02 was 55,557. This number is 11,867 less than
in 1900-01, and 19,716 smaller as compared with the year
1899-00.
Re-vaccinations by the
Special Staff.
21. Under the head of re-vaccinations, however, the work of the
Special Staff was more satisfactory than in the previous
two years, the number in 1901-02 being 15,709 as com-
pared with 13,401 in 1900-01 and 13,969 in 1899-00.
Percentage of success
in primary and secondary
vaccinations by the Special
Staff.
22. The percentage of success among primary vaccinations was 81.89
against 85.73 and 86.4 in the preceding two years. The
amount of success under re-vaccinations was 51.5 per cent.
as compared with 48.68 in 1900-01 and 62.38 in 1899-00.

23. The Cantonment Staff.—The total number of operations performed
in the cantonments which entertain their own vaccinators
amounted in 1901-02 to 5,431 against 7,960 in 1900-01
and 6,482 in 1899-00, excluding those in the cantonment of Pesháwar from
the returns of the previous two years. The increase in 1900-01 over the
previous year was due to an unusually large number, mostly re-vaccinations,
done in the cantonment of Dagshai, as also to a greater number of operations
performed in the cantonments of Jullundur and Ráwalpindi.
The large amount of decrease in the work of the Cantonment Staff
in 1901-02, as compared with 1900.01, took place mostly in the cantonments
of Dagshai and Jullundur in which the number fell to 177 and 223 from 1,043
and 1,097 in the preceding year. The reason for this decrease is the abnormal
number vaccinated in the previous year.
Percentage of success
in the work of the Canton-
ment Staff.
24. The percentage of success in the work of the Cantonment Staff in
1901-02 was 92.75 in primary and 71.75 in secondary
cases. The quality of the work was not so good as in
1900-01 and 1899-00 in which the percentages were 94.98
and 95.89, respectively, in primary vaccinations and 78.05 and 69.86 in re-vac-
cinations.
Statement No, III.
25. The Dispensary Staff.—The vaccinations performed by the Dis-
pensary Staff were 660 in 1901-02, an increase of 209
over the number done in 1900-01, and 15 over that in
1899-00. Of the total of 660 operations in 1901-02, there were 136 primary
vaccinations and 524 re-vaccinations, and the percentage of success was 81.62
in primary and 56.68 in secondary against 93.12 and 78.11, respectively, in
1900-01. In 1901-02 the percentages of successful cases, both primary and
secondary, were very low in the Hoshiárpur Dispensary, viz., 37.5 and 12.07, res-
pectively.
Inspection work.
Statement No. V.
26. In 1901-02 I inspected 3,551 primary and 71 re-vaccinations and
found 95.04 and 30.99 per cent. successful. The Deputy
Sanitary Commissioner inspected 1,346 primary and 31
secondary vaccinations, and found 93.76 per cent of primary and 74.19 second-
ary cases successful. The number of cases inspected by the Civil Surgeons were
37,499 primary and 8,516 secondary, and of these 97.82 and 74.25 percent.,
respectively, were found successful. The Divisional Inspectors verified 76,576
primary operations and 7,507 re-vaccinations, and the Native Supervisors includ-
ing those of the Special Staff inspected 322,362 and 76,286 cases, respectively.
The Divisional Inspectors found 97.83 primary and 72.72 secondary cases suc-
cessful, and the Native Supervisors 96.83 and 74.48, respectively. The Civil

Khan did the largest amount of inspection work, the total number of cases in-
spected by them ranging between three and five thousand. In Jhang the Civil
Surgeon did no inspection on account of press of other work.
