It will be seen that there were 900,232 persons primarily vaccinated
and 58,470 re-vaccinated against 896,394 and 54,700 last year, showing a
net increase of 3,838 or 0.43 per cent. in primary vaccination and 3,770 or 6.89
per cent. in re-vaccination. The rate of decrease in primary and re-vaccination
in dispensaries was 18.26 per cent. in the former and an increase of 1.60 per
cent. in the latter.
The decrease of 1,218 or 17.21 under the total operations
amongst dispensaries was due to the transfer of vaccination work from the
Medical Officers in charge of dispensaries to the táluka vaccinators. There
was a decrease in both kinds of operations in the British and Native Army
during the year. On the whole there has been in total operations an increase
of 7,608 or 0.80 per cent. over the preceding year for the entire Presidency.
Infants successfully vacci-
nated in the 24 Collectorates.

nated during the year under review in the Presidency
exclusive of Native States.
The birth and death
statistics are taken for the calendar year, as usual, in
calculating the number available for vaccination, because infants are generally
not vaccinated until three months after birth :—
