The number of re-vaccinations performed in Local Fund areas has decreased by
over 20,000 since the previous triennium, but in municipalities it has increased by
10,000. It is a remarkable circumstance that every one of the 185 re-vaccinations
performed by zamindari vaccinators during the last six years has proved success-
ful, although the same men show a very low percentage in primary vaccination.
One is justified in doubting the correctness of such a phenomenal rate of success.
The total percentage of successes in re-vaccination has now settled at about 76
per cent., which is probably approximately correct.

Compared with the results obtained last year, the districts which show an
increase in infantile vaccination, i.e., the proportion of successful vaccinations under
one year to the number of births during the year, are Coimbatore (16.6), Madura
(10.1), South Canara (9.8), North Arcot (8.1), Vizagapatam (4.3), Nellore (3.5),
Tinnevelly (2.6), Malabar (1.7), Trichinopoly (1.7), Kurnool (1.5), Cuddapah (0.9)
and Tanjore (0.2). The following districts show a decrease :—Kistna (8.8),
Anantapur (7.5), Nilgiris (6.8), Bellary (4.3), Salem (4.1), South Arcot (1.2), Ganjám
(1.1) and Chingleput (1.0). All of these latter, with the exception of South Arcot
and Chingleput, showed a substantial increase last year, which they have not been
able to maintain. The reasons alleged are absence of vaccinators without substi-
tute, inert lymph, and unwillingness of people to get their children vaccinated.
As regards municipalities a, ratio of 75 per cent. and upwards has been attained
by 47 towns against 42 last year. Those which show the largest increase are Kodai¬
kánal (57.9), Dindigul (50.6), Calicut (47.2), Palamcottah (37.4), Cannanore (33.3),
Vellore(32.2), Cochin, (27.4), Mangalore (25.5), Tinnevelly (24.4), Tirupati (23.9),
Kurnool (23.4) and Cuddapah (21.8).
