result. In secondary vaccination the rate of success reported in municipalities,
viz., 64 per cent., is far too high to be true, and suggests either that many
of the cases returned as secondary were actually primary, or that the rate of
success was not truly recorded. The average rate of success in secondary
vaccination in rural circles is reported to be about 34 per cent. This is probably
correct.

It will be seen that by far the largest number of operations are performed
by licensed vaccinators which is to be expected, considering that the number
of licensed vaccinators is so much greater than the number of Government and
municipal vaccinators. But although the Government vaccinators do not
perform in the aggregate as many operations as the licensed vaccinators, it is
evident from the figures given in the above table that of the three agencies
they exercised the greatest activity in the performance of their work. It will
be seen that each of them performed on an average 1,475 operations during
the past three years, while licensed and municipal vaccinators performed only
671 and 374 each respectively on an average.
