( 7 )
It is satisfactory to notice that there was an increase of 130,006 primary
vaccinations during the period under review, as compared with the previous
triennial period. The ratio per cent. of successful cases shows a decrease of
.37, being 97.92, against 98.29 of 1893-96. As explained in previous reports,
this high ratio is due to the dishonest practice followed by the vaccinators of
including in the returns partial and even absolute failures as successful
cases. This can only be put a stop to by stricter supervision by the Civil
Surgeons and the local inspecting staff.
