Inspection of vaccinations.
5. The above table exhibits the number of inspections of vaccinations in each
district during 1889-90 by Civil Surgeons, Hospital-
Assistants, and by Native Inspectors of Vaccination, with the
results of such inspections. The total number of cases verified by inspection was 80,737 in
1889-90, against 76,923 in 1888-89. Of this number, 74,223, or 91.93 per cent., were
found successful, as compared with. 70,314, or 91.41 per cent., in the previous year.
The number of cases found unsuccessful was 6,514, as compared with 6,609 in the previous
season. There was a smaller proportionate number of inspections in comparison
with the increased number of vaccinations performed during this season. The remarks
above (paragraph 4) as regards Cachar and the Gáro Hills, will explain the cause of this
difference.
Out of the 80,737 total inspections, 15,785 were done by Civil Surgeons, 2,086 by
Hospital-Assistants, &c., and 62,866 by Native Inspectors of Vaccination; and of these in-
spections, the operations found successful were 14,492 by Civil Surgeons, 1,871 by Hospital-
Assistants, &c., and 57,860 by Native Inspectors of Vaccination. The percentage of
successful cases, as verified by the Civil Surgeons, was highest in the Gáro Hills district
(96.98) and lowest (84.56) in the Lakhimpur district. The percentages of successful
operations, as inspected by the Native Inspectors, varied from 95*15 (the highest) in the
Goálpára district to 89.10 ( the lowest) in the Darrang district. Dr.Dobson, as usual in
former years, is ,the most persevering in his inspection duty, his figures being 3,220, but
they are somewhat less ( by 218) than in the previous year. Dr. Banerji has taken, much
interest in this matter, and Dr. Henderson has worked hard to improve the vaccination of
his district, which was much required and has been attended by a remarkable success,
as 6,615 more persons were vaccinated than in the previous year.
Drs. Borrah, Mullane,
and Mr. McNaught come next in this respect.
