VACCINATION REPORT.

the whole of the preparation of the return required by this Government order
on the vaccinator—probably the last person who should be entrusted with its
preparation. These returns consequently frequently show that some suspicion
might rightly be felt with regard to the entries under " died " and " left the town."
The percentage of success recorded under primary vaccination was 95.4 and under
re-vaccination 80.4. These figures are probably too high. In the following 32
towns the total outturn showed a decrease :—
Madras (4,896), Trichinopoly (2,847), **Calicut (1,123), Berhampur (959),
Coimbatore (566), Parlákimedi (409), Vellore (400), Cuddapah (355), Kurnool (332),
Vizagapatam (309), Tinnevelly (291), Palni (283), **Masulipatam (258), Srírangam
(257), Bellary (209), Coonoor (119), Adóni (119), **Anakapalle (97), Dindigul (96),
Conjeeveram (86), **Tellicherry (86), Tirupati (84), *Walajapet (83), Máyaverain
(75), Ootacamund (69), Vaniyambádi (55), Bimlipatara (39), *Karúr (38), Tanjore
(14), Palamcottah (13), Periyakulam (8), and Tirupattúr 5.
N.B.—Names
marked with one asterisk showed decrease last year also, and those with two for 3
years in succession.
The causes at work in bringing about the above results are either one or more
of the following :—Deficiency of unprotected children, decrease in the birth-rate,
absence of small-pox causing indifference and prevalence of plague leading in some
cases to the closing of depots.
The remaining towns 27 in number showed an increase which was conspicuous
in the following towns :—
Negapatam (1,040), Cocanada (987), Guntúr (654), Ellore (395), Cochin (276),
Srívilliputtur (261), Vizianagaram (226), Cuddalore (197), and Cannanore (173).
In the rest of the towns the increase was trifling. The increase in Negapatam was
due to a large number of workmen in the Railway workshops having been vacci-
nated during the year, in Cocanada to 942 persons on small-pox infected vessels
having been vaccinated and in Guntúr to the temporary re-opening of the jail.
