The Civil Surgeon of Goalpara has drawn attention to a misunderstanding of the
meaning of Form 2—Village register of vaccination. It is commonly assumed that
column 14, successful in one point, refers to the success of the vaccination operation
as a protection against small-pox, whereas the entry only refers to the insertion
success. Vaccination operations showing less than two successful points of insertion
should not be shown in Form 6 or Form 39 among successful operations.
He also draws attention to the insufficient number of insertions frequently
made. There is little doubt that the tendency in Assam is to accept too few a number
of insertions as a satisfactory protection against small-pox. Civil Surgeons should
instruct their district vaccinators that insertions in one point only are to be shown in
form 6 as failures and that they should endeavour to vaccinate in three or in four
points whenever possible. Success in this direction might be considered in allotting
rewards to vaccinators.
15. The prescribed statements are appended to these notes.
H. E. BANATVALA, Col., I.M.S.,
Sanitary Commissioner, Assam.
The following diagram illustrates the death-rates from small-pox in each district side by side with the
proportion of the population protected against the disease by vaccination during the seven years 1907-1908
to 1913-1914.
Note.— Black lines indicate death-rates from small-pox.
Red lines indicate the proportion of population protected by vaccination.
