VACCINATION REPORT.
5
The work shows a decrease in the nine districts noted below, those marked
by an asterisk having also showed a decrease last year. The reasons for this, as
supplied by the Deputy Inspectors, are given under each name.
* Kurnool (9,944).—The whole department here seems to have collapsed. The
President, District Board, was addressed several times ; but though orders were
issued, the difficulty in procuring calves did not lessen. Several vaccinators' posts
were vacant for long periods.
Nellore (8,142).—.Reported want of help from the Revenue authorities; staff
being incomplete for some time; heavy rains in November; prevalence of fever
and measles.
Coimbatore (7,783).—This is attributed almost entirely to an unfortunate break-
down in the animal vaccine depôt at Coimbatore, on which the whole of the vacci-
nators depended for their supply. It took some considerable time to start a new
stock of lymph.
South Canara (7,675).—The increase of the year before was a large one (8,584);
non-appearance of small-pox, failure of lymph latterly, chiefly from irregular
supply of calves ; prevalence of cholera, dysentery and chicken-pox.
* Cuddapah (3,463).—The staff was incomplete for a long time; prevalence of
malarial fevers, measles, &c.
Ganjám (1,795).—Change in the old staff, four vaccinators having been dis-
missed for falsifying their registers; staff was incomplete for a long time ; discon-
tinuance of use of human lymph.
North Arcot (2,454).—Difficulty in procuring calves ; changes in the staff;
several sub-treasuries are far from vaccinators' head-quarters, so that time is spent
in getting pay; prevalence of cholera.
Nilgiris (479).—Bad lymph supplied for a time.
* Gódávari (651).—No reason given, but there were several changes among the
staff of Deputies during the year.

12. Vaccination is now compulsory in all municipalities. From the sanitary
inspection reports submitted during the past year, it may be seen how the system
works. In some cases compulsion is real, but in too many it exists in name only.
13. The work of vaccination in different municipalities is shown in the follow-
ing table, in which a new column has been opened showing the average monthly
number of operations, and how much it varies independently of the population :—
