It will be seen from the foregoing table that there were 679,467 persons
primarily vaccinated and 89,204 re-vaccinated, against 621,310 and 48,342, re-
spectively, last year, showing a net increase of 58,157 or 9.36 per cent. in primary
vaccination and 40,862 or 84.53 per cent. in re-vaccination. In total operations
there is an increase of 99,019 or 12.88 per cent.
In primary vaccination a slight decrease is shown in Gujarát Registration.
District and in re-vaccination in the Southern and Sind Registration Districts.
The total increase is spread over all Districts and Circles in the Presidency.
Causes of decrease.
8. The decrease under primary vaccination in the Gujarát Registration
District is thus accounted for by Major T. E. Dyson,
the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner:—
" In primary vaccinations, all the etasblishments except Native States and dispensaries show
an increase. It will be seen that the greater part of the decrease is in primary vaccination in
Native States and dispensaries. Famine and consequent migration of the people has been the
chief cause of the deficiency. Many villages were found by vaccinators to be almost entirely
deserted. Famine, although equally bad in British districts, has not had the same effect on
the work of vaccination, because relief works have been amply provided and have attracted
people from outside, thus providing more material for vaccination."
