Dispensary vaccina-
tion.
(Statement III.)
12. The total number of vaccination operations performed by medical
subordinates at dispensaries during the year 1924-25
was 287 (216 primary and 71 re-vaccination) against
512 (215 primary and 297 re-vaccination) in 1923-24.
Vaccination in muni-
cipalities.
13. The vaccination work performed in municipalities during the year
under report showed an increase as compared with
that of the previous year, the total number of per-
sons vaccinated being 115,177 and 107,045 and that
of the vaccination operations performed 118,071 (101,517 primary and
16,554 re-evaccination) and 112,863 (100,896 primary and 11,967 re-vaccina-
tion) respectively. The total number of successful vaccinations amounted
to 91,909 in the case of primary vaccination and to 6,527 in that of
re-vaccination during the year under review, as compared with 87,498
and 4,786 respectively, in 1923-24. The ratio of persons successfully
vaccinated per mille of the population during the year under review
was higher than the previous year, the figures for the two years
being 33.88 and 31.73, respectively. Among the well-protected muni-
cipalities Etah with 72.42 persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of the
population heads the list, retaining its position of last year and is followed
by Almora with 59.42, Gonda with 56.62, Naini Tal with 48.10, Lakhim¬
pur (Kheri) with 46.95 and Konch (Jalaun) with 45.37; Gonda and
Konch, which stood second and fifth last year, are third and sixth this year.
Among the least protected municipalities the most conspicuous are Main¬
puri (12.54), Ghaziabad (13.37), Dehra Dun (21.76), Rae Bareli (22.12),
Farrukhabad (22.92) and Kanauj (23.39). Rae Bareli, Farrukhabad and
Kanauj show an improvement over last year, while Ghaziabad and Dehra
show a still greater decline this year. In Ghaziabad the decrease is
ascribed by the District Superintendent of Vaccination to the improper
maintenance of vaccination registers A and B by the municipality, with
the result that a large number of children could not be traced for vaccination.
In Dehra Dun it was due to the exclusion of some portion of the town
from the municipal limits and to a smaller number of unvaccinated children
of last year being available for vaccination.
In Mainpuri it is ascribed to low birth-rate.
The number of successful vaccinations performed on children under the
age of one year in the municipalities during the year under report was
71,219 (vide Appendix B) against 69.579 in the previous year.
Vaccination in can-
tonments.
14. During the year under report 12,255 persons were vaccinated
and 12,335 operations (5,483 primary and 6,852
re-vaccination) were performed by the vaccination
staff in cantonments against 10,988 and 11,162
(5,661 primary and 5,501 re-vaccination), respectively, in the preceding
year. The numbers of successful primary vaccinations and successful
re-vaccinations during the two years were 4,995 and 4,117, and 4,928 and
2,719, respectively. The number of persons successfully vaccinated per
