1922-23 was 101,815, that of vaccination opera-
tions performed 103,646 (91,751 primary and
11 ,895 re-vaccinations), that of successful primary
operations 85,729 and that of successful re-vaccinations 6,538 as against
97,994, 100,379, 82,881, 5,564 in 1921-22 and 106,513, 107,904, 86,987,
and 7,895 in 1920-21. respectively. The number of persons successfully
vaccinated per 1,000 of population in 1922-23 was 31.72 as compared
with 30.39 in last year and 32.12 in the year before last.
Among the well protected municipalities Almora wilh 142.81 persons
successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of the population heads the list, and is
followed by Naini Tal with 69.47, Etah with 57.73, Gonda with 52.54,
Unao with 51.40, and Bahraich with 49.03. The muncipalities showing
a low degree of protection were Rae Bareli (17.86), Nagina (17.93), Far-
rukhabad (17.98), Tanda (18.61) and Kanauj 20.32.
The decrease in Rae Bareli is attributed to the fact that many children
left the municipality during the vaccination season and in Nagina to the
appointment of a new and inexperienced man. In Tanda it is stated to
be due to the prevalence of plague and cholera, while in Farrukhabad and
Kanauj it is ascribed to non-receipt of lymph from the Government Bovine
Lymph Dépôt, Patwa Dangar, for three consecutive weeks in January
and February.
The statement showing the number of successful vaccinations per-
formed on children under one year of age in different municipalities forms
appendix B to this report.
