The percentage of success with the lanoline paste supplied by the King
Institute of Preventive Medicine is 86.6 in Local Fund and 91.3 in Municipal areas.
From the following table it will be observed that 99.1 per cent. successes were
secured in the Nilgiris and 97.4 per cent. in Malabar. As the results range from
78.4 to 99.1, the low percentage of successes cannot be attributed to the inferiority
of the paste but to the careless handling, and want of skill on the part of the
vaccinators when the lanoline paste, to which they were unaccustomed, was first
introduced:—

15. The diagrams showing the proportion of population protected in the
districts and municipalities are attached hereto.
16. The Deputy Inspectors of Vaccination of the following ranges failed to
verify 50 per cent. of the cases vaccinated in their ranges : Bellary (42.1), East
Coimbatore (39.0), Madras (47.2), Dindigul (44.0), Madura (46.4), Paramagudi
(36.3), Tellicherry (45.7), Calicut (29.4), Cuddalore (30.5), Jeypore (43.4), Vizaga-
patam (36.5) and Vizianagram (44.5).
Their explanations for short verification appear to be satisfactory. Except in
the case of the Deputy Inspectors of East Coimbatore and Calicut, whose explana-
tions have been called for but have not as yet been received, action will be taken on
receipt of the explanations.
