22. The total number of primary and re-vaccinations, performed in the
States, amounted to 76,743 and 11,868 respectively, being an increase of 11,121
in the former and a decrease of 313 in the latter, as compared with 1897-98.
23. The average percentage of success claimed by Vaccinators is 92.86,
which is reduced to 89.83 by Civil Surgeons in those cases in which they
checked the results. The figure given by Superintendents is 95.02, so that the
operations appear to have been conducted with a fair amount of care. The lowest
number of primary vaccinations was 186 in Makrai.

Expenditure on vaccination.
STATEMENT II.
25. The total amount expended in connection with vaccination in Khalsa
and Feudatory States was Rs.50,926-13-2, being an increase
of Rs.4,778-12-11 over that for the preceding year, while
the average cost for each successful vaccination was Re.0-1-11 9/10 showing a
decrease of one-tenth pie.
26. In the Khalsa the expenditure was Rs.44,168-15-7—an increase of
Rs.4,806-9-11. The excess is principally accounted for by promotion in establish-
ment and by the higher rate of pay sanctioned in 1898, and to a certain extent
by (a) increased rate of travelling allowance drawn by some Civil Medical
Officers, (b) compensation for dearness of grain sanctioned for the famine period,
but paid during the past year, also by (c) the fact of Vaccinators receiving an
additional allowance when employed on small-pox duty.
