Those of the districts in which it was noticed that the number of pri-
mary vaccinations performed during the month of November 1921, showed a con-
siderable falling off in comparison with the figures for the corresponding month
of the previous year were requested to make up the deficiency by the employ-
ment of vaccinators of the Special Staff, and as a result of this action two such
vaccinators each were detailed for duty in the Rohtak and Ferozepore
Districts.
