The percentage of unsuccessful and unknown cases are less than in the
previous year. Under these two heads there is room for improvement in the
Basim and Buldana Districts.
The number of re-vaccinations performed was 38, with a percentage of success
of 26.3.
Sex and age of those vaccinated.

The Ellichpur District, as usual, returns the highest proportion of infants
protected (88.6). This is the most densely populated and smallest district in the
province, which gives greater facilities for work, though at the same time the
Superintendent deserves credit for the work performed. Wun comes second with
83.0, and Basim lowest with 69.5, a record not creditable to the Superintendent,
Syed Abdul Kurreem.
Protection afforded against small-pox.
