are normally supplied in 20 c.c. capsules, and Plague in 25 c.c. cap

To minimise wastage, men for inoculation should as far as possible
be paraded in batches of 40 or 20 for the first and second doses res

safely and satisfactorily.
T.A.B. and cholera vaccines may be obtained on indent in the
following proportion :—
50 per cent. in 20 c.c. capsules.
20 per cent. in 10 c.c. capsules.
15 per cent. in 5 c.c. capsules.
15 per cent. in 1 c.c. capsules.
Owing to the high cost of smaller capsules as compared with 20 c.c.
containers, every attempt should be made to limit the use of small
tubes to occasions when they are really necessary.
2. Curative vaccines.—Autogenous vaccines are usually much
more efficacious than stock vaccines.
Whenever possible material for the preparation of an autogenous
vaccine should be supplied to, or if in the same station be taken in
person by, the Officer in charge of the District laboratory. Sterility
tests aerobic and anaerobic should invariably be carried out before
issue, and directions as to dosage, etc., forwarded with the vaccine
by the Officer in charge laboratory concerned.
The following curative vaccines are issued by the Director, Central
Research Institute, Kasauli:—
