REPORT.
I.—Number of Vaccinators, distinguishing those paid by Government, Municipalities, and Local Funds,
stating their salaries, and the periods of the year during which they were employed.
THE total number of vaccinators employed during the season was seventy-three, not including a
man who was employed in Nowgong only from the 1st April to the 15th June.
One at Cachar.
„
„ Goálpára.
„
„ Kámrúp,
Two „ Khási Hills.
One „ Lakhimpur.
„ „ Nowgong.
„ „ Sibságar.
„ „ Sylhet.
Of these, fifty-four were inoculators employed in Kámrúp, and
paid by those operated on. Of the remaining nineteen, nine were
entertained for the whole year, as shown in the margin, and ten for
periods of less than a year, as shown below:—
One for nine months in Darrang.
Four „ six
„
„ the Gáro Hills
„
„ four
„
„ Lakhimpur.
One „ four
„
„ Sylhet.
The two men in the Khási Hills received Rs. 12 a month,—all the others received Rs. 10
per month.
The total amount paid by Government was Rs. 1,523, by the Municipality of Gauháti, Rs. 120, and
by that of Sylhet Rs. 40, or a total of Rs. 1,683.
The cost per successful case was 1 anna 6.4 pie, or excluding Kámrúp, 3 annas ½ pie.
If the Kámrúp inoculators had been paid Rs. 10 a month for four months, the expense per
successful case in that district would have been nearly 4 annas. In some districts the cost was very
high, 14½ annas in Nowgong, and upwards of 15 in Goálpára, whereas in Sibságar it was only
1.37 annas.
II.—The mode and plan in and on which they were employed; what steps were taken to define the area of
operation, to secure the aid of civil authorities or influential natives, and accomplish the complete
vaccination of the localities selected for operation.
In most of the districts, there being only one vaccinator, the work was chiefly confined to the
sudder stations and neighbouring villages.
