Hooghly.
Hooghly.—This district is included in the Metropolitan circles. A muni-
cipal vaccinator is employed for the vaccination of the town and suburbs. He
is a good, experienced man. He vaccinated 1,545 cases, and 492 vaccinations
were performed by the Civil Surgeon, Sub-Assistant Surgeon and Hospital
Assistant. The plan of proceedings is not described. No vaccination was
performed at any of the branch dispensaries.
Howrah.
Unsuccessful
at-
tempt to instruct
inoculators.
Howrah.—Dr. Elliot reports that one vaccinator, paid by the municipality,
vaccinates within municipal limits. He performed 2,207 operations against
2,638 in 1870-71. The percentage of success was good. The Civil Surgeon
frequently inspected the cases. His work was desultory. Vaccination is
favorably received by the people residing in and around Howrah. Two inocu-
lators came to be instructed in vaccination, but absconded in a day or two.
Serampore
Two
inoculators
instructed.
Serampore.—Dr. Greene reports that an experienced vaccinator, who has
been employed at Serampore in that capacity for 15 years, was at work from
October till the end of March, and vaccinated 894 persons, against 366 in
1870-71. There were only two instances of failure. Two inoculators were
instructed in vaccination and furnished with fresh crusts. They vaccinated a
large number in thannah Chunditollah but sent in no returns. Dr. Greene is
of opinion that with a little encouragement from the authorities, there will be
no difficulty in inducing; inoculators to adopt vaccination.
CENTRAL DISTRICTS.—PRESIDENCY DIVISION.
24-Pergunnahs.
24-Pergunnahs.—This district is included in the area of the Metropolitan
circles, and the vaccination of Calcutta and its suburbs is performed under the
supervision of the Superintendent-General. Full particulars regarding vaccine
proceedings both in town and district are given in the reports of Drs. Charles
and Powell.
Nuddea.
Nuddea.—This district is also included in the Metropolitan circles. Vac-
cinators were employed by the municipality of Kishnaghur, Ranaghat and
Santipore, under the supervision of Dr. Powell. Inoculation has been prohibited
in the district and the people are favorably disposed to vaccination. Further
particulars are given in Dr. Powell's report.
