VACCINATION REPORT.
A decrease is shown in the nine districts mentioned below; those marked by
an asterisk also showed a decrease last year :—
Madura (11,546).—Attributed to prevalence of cholera, vacancies and changes
in staff and insufficient supply of lymph.
* North Arcot (7,418).—Attributed to insufficient supply of calves, indolence of
vaccinators and absence on leave.
Trichinopoly (6,643)—Said to be owing to the indolence of the vaccinators,
absence of the staff on leave, and insufficient supply of calves.
Malabar (6,323).—Owing to changes in Deputy Inspector, absence of vacci-
nators on leave and unwillingness of parents.
Tinnevelly (3,851).—Entirely in the Sáttúr Circle attributed to the absence of
the staff on leave and prohibition of vaccination in markets and fairs.
* South Canara (3,114).—Due to incompleteness of staff for nearly nine months
and failure of lymph supply.
Chingleput (548).—No reason given.
* Ganjám (3,436).—Owing to absence of small-pox, unwillingness of people
and insufficient supply of lymph.
Anantapur (423).—Attributed to want of assistance from civil authorities.
The following districts show the largest increase, viz., Coimbatore (11,042),
Salem (8,935), Kistna (8,026), Gódávari (6,530), Kurnool (5,468) and Vizagapatam
(4,436).
The low percentage of success in Coimbatore and South Canara is attributed to
the bad quality of the glycerinized lymph and glycerinized paste supply, and in
Kurnool to its deterioration owing to excessive heat.
11. The proportion of males to females vaccinated during the year is shown in
the following table:—
