1910-1911 was 12,475 against 11,533 in 1909-1910 and successful re-vaccination
273 against 74 in the previous season.
28. The average work per vaccinator was 881 operations against 797 and the
average cost of each successful case was 47 pies against 50 pies in the previous
year.
29. The number of vaccinators was 15, the same as in 1909-1910 with one
Native Superintendent.
30. The Civil Surgeon, Ajmer, inspected 670 children against 333 in 1909-
1910, of whom 656 were found successful and the Superintendent at Nasirabad
examined 553 children against 421 in the previous year.
31. The Native Superintendent inspected 273 villages and examined 6,807
vaccinated children against 6,018 in 1909-1910. The percentage of success amongst
cases seen by him was 98.44 against 98.87.
32. In the returns of previous years the number of persons vaccinated corres-
ponded with the total number of primary vaccinations and re-vaccinations as the
number of vaccination operations performed was taken as equal to the number of
persons vaccinated and re-vaccinated. This method of calculation was changed
under the orders contained in the Government of India, Home Department letter
No. 169—176 (Sanitary), dated the 29th January 1909, and an individual on whom
a second operation is performed on account of failure on the first occasion is now
shown as one person only but the second operation is included in the total of
vaccinations.
33. The Vaccination Returns from the Native States also show an increase
in primary vaccinations, viz., 261,739 against 255,990 in 1909-1910 which indicates
satisfactory progress. Re-vaccinations fell from 325 in 1909-1910 to 220 in 1910-
1911; 83.49 of these were successful.

were employed in Tonk and 1 less in Jaipur. No Vaccination Returns were received
from the Kushalgarh Estate in which there was one vaccinator employed in 1909-
1910.
35. The average number of operations performed by each vaccinator fell
from 1,587 to 1,581 but the work varied in different States from 3,382 operations
in Sirohi to 471 in Jaisalmer.
36. The diminished number of vaccinations in Jaipur, Bharatpur and Mewar
was due entirely to stoppage of work on account of plague which was epidemic
throughout these States.
37. In Alwar in spite of plague, the number of vaccination increased.
38. The Residency Surgeon, Western Rajputana States, reports that of the
work performed in Marwar, 795 primary vaccinations were done by the Sub-Assist-
ant Surgeons in the Marwar Dispensary Towns with a percentage of success of
97.48. The Sub-Assistant Surgeons in the Sirohi State performed 299 operations
and the Sub-Assistant Surgeon at Jaisalmer 40 only.
