VACCINATION REPORT.
Compared with the work of last year, there was a decrease in the following
municipalities :—Adóni, Berhampur, Bimlipatam, Cochin, Conjeeveram, Coonoor,
Cuddapah, Gurtúr, Madras, Masulipatam, Máyavaram, Ongole, Palamcottah,
Parlákimedi, Srírangam, Trichinopoly, Tuticorin, Vániyambádi and Vizagapatam.
In some of them, no doubt, there was difficulty in getting an adequate supply
of good animal lymph. A small municipality is unable to bear the cost of carrying
on, independently, animal vaccination. In many instances I have suggested that
District Boards and Municipalities might, with mutual advantage, work together.
The large decrease of 5,360 cases in the Trichinopoly Municipality is said to be
due to the discontinuance of the practice of vaccinating outsiders who attend the
market and bazaars.
In Cochin vaccination is not compulsory, and there is great opposition to the
operation.
The results of the work performed in Calicut, Parlákimedi, Berhampur and
Chicacole were exceedingly bad. The unsatisfactory state of vaccination in these
towns has been brought to notice more than once by the Sanitary Commissioner and
myself.
