There was thus a substantial increase of 20,232 in the number of successful primary-
vaccinations in the circle.
Cause of the decrease in some districts.
10. The decrease in the Dehra Dún and Saháranpur districts was mainly due to
the deputation, early in March of the vaccinators
of those districts to Hardwár for special sanitary duty
in connection with the Mahavarni Fair, and in Etáwah to heavy and prolonged rain,
which prevented work in that district at the commencement of the season.
Summary of District Superintendents'
reports.
11. Vaccination in the district and municipalities of Agra shows steady progress;
owing, it is stated, to the zeal and activity of the
Assistant Superintendent. The falling off in the
Dehra Dún and the Saháranpur districts was due to the cause already stated. The
District Superintendent of Saháranpur reports that he " did not succeed in discovering
a single false entry in district registers.'" Operations were also interfered with in the
Muzaffarnagar district, owing to the deputation of the district vaccinators for sanitary
duty at Hardwár ; and the Superintendent refers to the inability of the Assistant
Superintendent and vaccinators to help in enforcing the provisions of the Vaccination
Act in municipalities. A considerable advance was made in the Meerut district and
in the Meerut municipality, and the opposition and prejudices of the Jats to the
operation seem to have disappeared. There was an increase in the number of successful
operations in the Bulandshahr district, and progress was reported in the municipa-
lities. In the Aligarh district, the previous year's success was fully maintained and
the Superintendent says that " the unprotected children are very few and far to
seek." In the municipality of Koil-Aligarh, there is little difficulty experienced
in carrying out the provisions of the Vaccination Act. An increase is noted in the
work in the municipalities and in the district of Muttra. There was a falling off in the
work of the municipality and the district of Etáwah, attributed to delay at the com-
mencement of the season during the time when the flooded state of the country prevented
the vaccinators from moving about freely. A slight increase in operations in the
Mainpuri district is noted. In the municipality of Mainpuri some opposition was
experienced in enforcing the provisions of the Act. In the Farukhabad district, there
was a slight decrease in the total number of vaccinations in the district, and a slight
increase in the number of successful primary cases. In the Etah district, operations
were considerably extended and prosecutions under the Vaccination Act in the muni-
cipality of Etah were not rendered necessary.
Operations in the II Circle.
12. There was a total of 631,509 persons vaccinated in the II Circle against
616,511, and the number of successful primary vac-
cinations was 538,697 against 515,997, in the previ-
ous season. The percentage of successful primary cases in which the results were known
rose from 90.97 to 91.67, and the number of persons vaccinated per 1,000 of the
