Vaccination in the compulsory
areas under Act V of 1830.
7. The preceding table shows the vaccination work done in the compulsory areas
under Act V of 1880 as well as in the Dibrugarh canton-
ment, as compared with the work done in the past three
years. The total number of operations performed increased from 1,734 in 1889-90 to
1,891 in 1890-91, and the number of successful operations from 1,439 to 1,658. This was
chiefly due to the number of operations performed in the Dhubri and Goálpára munici-
palities, where Act V has been made compulsory, during the year under review, and which
are included in the above table. In Sylhet 250 notices were issued under the Act, but
no prosecution or conviction took place, and in Gaubáti there were only ten notices issued.

Inspection of licensed vaccinators'
work.
8. The number of licensed vaccinators' operations actually inspected during the year
1890-91 will be found in the above table. The number
of operations performed by this class of operators amounted
to 18,247, against 18,758 in 1889-90, or a decrease of 511 operations from the previous
year. The total number of inspections were 11,215, of which 10,324 were found to be
successful cases, as compared with 11,641 inspections with 10,890 successful cases in
1889-90, showing a decrease from the figures of the previous year. The percentage of
successful cases actually verified by inspection also decreased from 93.55 in 1889-90 to
92.05 in 1890-91. Of the total number of vaccinations inspected by the Civil Surgeons
and their subordinates, 891 were found unsuccessful, against 751 in 1889-90. So that the
work done by this class of operators was not as good, all round, as in the previous year.
