From the foregoing table it will be observed that in 19 districts out of
24 the successfully vaccinated fell short of the total registered births minus
deaths amongst those under 1 year old, and in the remaining 5 districts the
successful operations outnumbered the available children. These five districts
stand in the following sequence : Bombay city (5,466), Shikárpur (4,702), Upper
Sind Frontier (1,688), Thar and Párkar(960) and Broach (214). On the whole
out of 492,765 infants available for vaccination under 1 year, 391.511 or 79.45 per
cent. have been protected and 101,254 or 20.55 per cent. remained unprotected.

The above will show at a glance that from 1880 every year, except 1885,
is characterized by progress in primary vaccination.
Results in primary vacci-
nations.
8. Out of 900,232 persons primarily vaccinated, 854,182 cases or 94.88
per cent. were successful, being 0.14 per cent. less than
in 1888-89. The number of unsuccessful cases was less
than that in the preceding year, being 15,241 against
16,357; 2,012 persons were operated on a second time on account of the failure
of the first operation and in 32,821 cases the result was unknown, as the children
were not again brought for inspection. The following table shows the number of
persons primarily vaccinated, and the success among them for the past ten
years :—
