It will be seen that out of 2,461,862 infants under one year of age esti-
mated to be available for vaccination in the whole Province during the year
under report, protection was afforded to 363,942, or 147.83 per thousand,
which, though a much better result than that of the previous year, when the
degree of protection was only 125.49 per mille, is still far from satisfactory.
Lohardaga and Malda head the list with a proportion of 739.9 and 717.57
respectively. Palamau and Darjeeling come next with 451.66 and 438.38
respectively, Darjeeling having fallen from top place last year into fourth
place during the year under report; while Cuttack (26.63) and Puri (20.29),
owing to the well-known hostility of the Uriyas to vaccination, again occupy
their usual position at the bottom of the list, but they have made considerable
advance over 1892-93, when the figures were 7.48 and 6.23 respectively. The
South Lushai Hills (formerly known as the Chittagong Hill Tracts) from being
last but one in the list in 1892-93, in which year the degree of protection
afforded to its infants was 6.75 only, now occupies fifth place with a proportion
of 309.48. The explanation of this is that vaccination was introduced for the
first time in these hills in 1892-93, when only a limited amount of work was
done in selected areas. During the year under report it was extended all over
the entire district, and work was pushed on vigorously by paid vaccinators.
