Inspection of licensed vaccinators' work
23. Table No. 6 shows the licensed vaccinators' operations inspected by the Civil
Surgeons and the Native Inspectors. They are chiefly
employed in the Goálpára and Kámrúp districts.
The
number of vaccinations performed by them has increased from 19,807 in 1887-88 to
22,284 in 1888-89, and the number inspected by the Civil Surgeons and the Native
Inspectors has also increased from 11,627 to 12,513 in 1888-89; but the proportion of
inspections to total operations has fallen from 58 to 56 per cent., the decrease being marked
in Kámrúp. The number of successful cases among those inspected has increased from
10,711 to 11,706, and the percentage of successful cases actually verified by inspection
from 92.12 to 93.55. In the Goálpára district there were 18 licensed vaccinators em-
ployed, who performed 14,115 cases, as compared with 11,581 operations of the preced-
ing year. The work done by them in this district is reported to have been very success-
ful. In the Kámrúp district there were 32 licensed vaccinators employed, against 18 in
the previous season ; but the authority under which the number was increased is not
explained in the Annual Vaccination Report of the Kámrúp district for 1888-89. 8,169
operations were performed by 32 licensed vaccinators, against 8,226, showing a slight
decrease on the figures of the previous year. The Civil Surgeon inspected 280 cases,
against none inspected in the previous season, which is so far satisfactory, but he should
imitate the Civil Surgeon of the Goálpára district in the number and proportion of his
inspections, as this system requires more careful inspection and supervision on his part
than that done by Government vaccinators.
General tables
24. Besides the preceding district tables, the Annual Statements Nos. I. to IV. are
submitted. Statement No. 1. shows the population and
particulars of vaccination in each district during the year,
excluding the operations done by the dispensary staff. Statement No. I. A, appended to
the Report since 1883-84, has been omitted this year, as it is not a prescribed form sanc-
tioned by the Government of India.
TABLE No. 7.
Statement showing the relation between the state of protection by vaccination enjoyed by the people and the
prevalence of small-pox during the previous five years, i.e., the average for the previous five years both
for protection and deaths from small-pox.
