This reduces the proportion of infants protected under 1 year from 202.81
to 149.79, and the figures of Darjeeling, which is the best protected district,
from 876.89 to 638.82. In connection with infant vaccination I recommended
in last year's report that three punctures should be made in each arm, as is
the practice in the Panjab, and I was asked by Government to submit for
approval a draft of the instructions I proposed issuing on the subject. I
have, however, in consultation with the officers of the Department deferred
doing so pending the reorganization of the Sanitary Department by its amal-
gamation with the Medical Department, which will be a more appropriate time
to rearrange the whole working of Vaccination in Bengal.
