It will be seen that in rural areas the average number of revaccinations
rose from 7,321 during the three years 1893—96 to 35,645 during 1896—99.
In municipalities also there was an increase of 8,716 revaccinations. This result
is satisfactory and encouraging, and shows that the people are gradually
learning to understand the necessity of a second operation.
The ratio per cent. of successful cases is also much higher, being 61.22,
against 36.99 of the previous triennial period. The local officers explain this
high ratio to be due (a) to the operations having been made at intervals of
several years, during which the effects of, primary vaccination had been des-
troyed, and (b) to the partial success or failure of the previous vaccination.
Six-puncture of vaccination.
8. During the past year the system in force in the Punjab of making
three punctures of vaccination on each arm was
introduced into this province. At first this change
met with great opposition, the people generally believing that the two extra
points were meant for plague inoculation. I had consequently, on the recom-
mendation of the Civil Surgeon, to relax the rule in some districts in the case of
delicate children and of infants under one year of age. Happily, however,
this belief is dying out by gentle persuasion and tact on the part of the local
officers, and fairly satisfactory results are now being obtained, as will be seen
from the table below. It is hoped that in a short time this system will be
firmly established in this province and be popular.
