Vaccination on tea gardens.
6. The preceding table shows separately the vaccinations performed on tea-gardens
by garden as well as by Government agencies during 1889-90.
The total number of vaccinations performed on tea-gardens
was 9,992, against 6,650 in 1888-89, showing an increase of 3,342 over the figures of
the previous year. There were 8,251 successful cases, against 5,679 in the previous
season, and the percentage of successful cases was 82.57. as compared with 85.39 in the
past year. Of the total number of 9,992 vaccinations, 9,217 were performed by garden
agencies, of which 7,587 were found successful, giving a percentage of 82.31 successful
operations; 775 were done by Government agencies, with 83.09 per cent. of successful cases.
As mentioned in paragraph 6 of last year's report, with some exceptions in Cachar and
Lakhimpur, managers now arrange for their own vaccination work, Civil Surgeons
supplying lymph and inspecting when visiting gardens. It will be obvious, both from
this and from Table No. 3, that the percentage of successful vaccinations by garden agency
is much less than that done by the Government vaccinators.
Sylhet, Cachar, and Lakhimpur, in the order given, show the highest grand total figures,
Cachar not being first in this respect, as happened in the previous year, and Sylhet gives
1,773 more than in 1888-89, Lakhimpur showing 1,666 more operations than in the previous
year, both cases proving the much greater interest taken by managers in this important
matter in the past year in these two districts, and this greater interest is confined to those
two districts, as Darrang and Nowgong only show a moderate increase, and Sibságar
a considerable decrease. The proprietors and managers in the Sibságar district ought
to be addressed on this subject.
