Extension of vaccination in Munici-
palities.
33. In the last triennial report, it was shown that the Vaccination Act had been
extended to only four Municipalities and four Can-
tonments ; and great progress has since been made
in legalizing operations in 82 Municipalities and in all Cantonments with one unim-
portant exception.
Success in vaccination in Municipali-
ties adopting the Act.
34. The result of this important step in the extension of vaccination has been
an increase of 33,740, in 1892-93, in the number
of successful primary operations in municipal towns
as compared with the figures of 1889-90; and as the extension of the Act has only
been recently effected in many cases, the improvement and success of vaccination in
Municipalities will be even more marked in the future. The total number vaccinated
in the Municipalities was 130,469 in 1892-93 as compared with 95,444 in 1889-90.
Marked success and progress in vacci-
nation in Oudh.
35. During the triennial period, the extension of vaccination in the Oudh districts
has been most marked, and the uumber of successful
primary operations has increased in these districts
from 76,494 to 222,555.
Extension of the Vaccination Act with-
out opposition.
36. The extension of the Vaccination Act to Municipalities has been effected with-
out much or any serious opposition, and there has
been no desire or necessity to enforce the penal
sections of the Act.
Municipal vaccinators and the conduct
of operations in the vicinity of the Muni-
cipal area.
37. Before the extension of the Vaccination Act, municipal vaccinators were per-
mitted to extend their operations to the villages
and hamlets in the neighbourhood. The arrange-
ment should be continued and encouraged, especially
in minor Municipalities adopting the Act where the field is too limited for the vaccina-
tor or vaccinators; and the protection of the municipal area from small-pox is often
procured by a careful attention to vaccination in the adjoining hamlets. An average
number of 921.56 persons only were vaccinated in Municipalities, against l,349.65 in
the Province generally by each vaccinator.
The employment of permanent expert
vaccinators only.
38. Eight hundred and twenty-four vaccinators and 43 apprentice vaccinators were
employed in the United Provinces in 1892-93, and it
is desirable to extend operations by the agency of
expert operators only. The employment of extra vaccinators and inexperienced and
more or less irresponsible operators for short periods, or during the vaccination season
only, should be curtailed as far as practicable.
