VACCINATION REPORT.
13. The work in municipalities shows a decrease of 1,535 cases when com-
pared with last year. This was perhaps to be expected, as the arrears of cases were
gradually overtaken through the operation of G.O., No. 1502-M., dated 19th
October 1894. In 32 towns a decrease is shown as noted below; names marked
with an asterisk showed decrease last year also, those with two for three, and those
with three for four years in succession :—
**Palghat, (1,224), Masulipatam (921), * Negapatam (564), * Vellore (373),
Palamcottah (270), *** Ellore (201), ** Vizagapatam (183), Anakápalle (173),
*Bezwada (145), * Calicut (140), Parlákimedi (116), *** Cocanada(l 13), ***Tin-
nevelly (104), * Máyavaram (95), Tanjore (87), Ootacamund (78), Nellore (68),
Srírangam (65), *** Mangalore (61), * Chidambaram (61), Coonoor (57), Tuticorin
(51), Erode (48), Berhampur (38), Cochin (32), * Bimlipatam (28), Coimbatore (19),
Vizianagram (13), Walajapet(6), ** Tellicherry (4), Madras (3), * Periyakulam (3).
Vaccination is compulsory in all municipalities with the exception of Tiru-
vannámalai and Chingleput.
The table below shows the working of the Government Order referred to above,
and it is curious to notice the discrepancies existing in the figures of this return
when compared with the infantile vaccination as shown in the ordinary monthly
returns. The two columns 5 and 6 ought to show a close agreement if registration
was carried on properly, though, of course, some allowance must be made for
the case of infants born elsewhere and brought into the town in the first year of
life. But in the cases of Madura (2,282), Calicut (1,737), Trichinopoly (1,042),
Coimbatore (981), Negapatam and Salem (961), these differences are so great as to
suggest that some other explanation must be sought:—
