Vaccination in municipalities.
12. The vaccination in municipalities during the year 1899-1900 shows an
increase of 14,828 successful primary operations
as compared with 1898-99, and a proportion of
37.97 persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of population as compared with a
proportion of 33.10 in the preceding year. The municipalities best protected were
Sambhal with a proportion of 78.92, Gonda with 76.32, Naini Tal with 69.79,
Sultánpur with 69.25, Chandausi with 64.03, Moradabad with 60.75, and Bahraich
with 60.26. The least protected municipalities, excluding Brindaban and Hardwár
Union, where circumstances are special, were Lucknow with 26.73, Farukhabad¬
Fatehgarh with 27.23, Sikandra Rao with 27.41, Háthras with 27.84, and Sháhja¬
hánpur with 27.89.
Under the orders conveyed in G. G. O. No. 87 of the 8th January 1900, modi-
fied by G. G. O. No. 1296 of 7th May 1900, a table showing the number of children
under one year of age in the municipal towns of North-Western Provinces and
Oudh available for vaccination and the number of successful operations performed
on them is appended. An examination of this table shows that the term " compul-
sory " as applied to vaccination is, in a very large number of municipalities, a
misnomer.
Statistics relating to the number of children under one year of age in the munici¬
palities of the North-Western Provinces and Oudh available for vaccination
and the number of successful operations performed on them during 1899-
1900.
