States of Orissa, Puri, Noakhali, Cuttack and Balasore, it was below 200 per
mille.
The protection afforded to infants in municipalities is shown in Appendix
VII attached to the report. It will be seen that 711 per mille of the
surviving infant population was protected during the year against 723 of the
previous year. The cause of the excess number of vaccinations over the
available population in some municipalities as shown in the statement is
the same as stated in the last report.
The attention of Civil Surgeons has again been drawn to their respon-
sibility in the matter of infant vaccination in towns where the protection is
inadequate.
7. Recess work.—In the past year 193,056 operations were performed
during the recess or non-working season in connection with small-pox epide-
mies and the up keep of lymph for emergencies against 291,460 of the pre-
vious year. The increase of work under this head during the year 1902-
1903 is accounted for by the greater prevalence of small-pox during that
year.
8. Six-puncture Vaccination.—The total number of successful primary
and revaccination operations in six-points was 733,802 and 11,653, respectively
against 711,221 and 25,963 respectively in 1902-1903. There was an increase
of 22,581 primary and a decrease of 14,310 revaccination cases. The decrease
is due to less number of total revaccinations done during the year for the reason
explained before.
9. Factory and Tea-garden Vaccination.—In factories and tea-gardens with
a population of 225,193, 11,913 operations were performed, of which 11,034
were primary and 879 revaccination cases, against 10,071 and 1,192, respectively
of 1902-1903. The ratio of success in primary and revaccination cases was
99.07 and 35.49, respectively, against 95.99 and 49.24, respectively of the pre-
vious year.
10. Cost of, and contribution towards, vaccination.—The total cost of vaccina-
tion during the year was Rs. 1,84,987 (excluding the expenditure of the Calcutta
Municipality which has not yet been received) against Rs. 1,99,448 of the
preceding year. The average cost of each successful case of vaccination
