1,447 cases. The lymph was adequate and good. The attitude of the people to
vaccination was favourable generally. The district staff gave every assistance, and the
conduct of the Vaccinators was good.
General results of the operations in the
3 Circles compared.
72. In the 1st Circle the total number of persons successfully vaccinated per
1,000 of the population was 30.00, as compared with
27.69 in the 2nd Circle and 20.33 in the 3rd Circle,
and the percentage of successful primary operations in which the results were known in
the 1st Circle, was 95.97 against 90.97 in the 2nd Circle and 94.12 in the 3rd Circle.
Vaccination according to age.
73. 521,879 infants under one year of age were successfully vaccinated against
424,016 in the previous season and 378,512 in
1891-92, and the increase in the season amounts to
the large total of 97,863. This increase is very satisfactory when it is considered
that infants are not usually vaccinated, and compulsory vaccination of infants in India
is not permitted, under the age of six months.
Vaccination in proportion to births.

mary vaccinations, at the different age periods, and

Re-vaccination.
75. There was a total of 25,662 re-vaccinations as compared with 24,362, and the
recorded percentage of success was 58.95 against 56.50
in the previous season. The number of re-vaccinations
in the 1st Circle was fewer by 3,073, while there was an increase of 1,390 in the 2nd,
and of 2,983 in the 3rd Circle. A large proportion of re-vaccinations in the 3rd Circle
was performed in the Garhwál district, where these operations numbered 10,165, and in
Gorakhpur 2,477 were recorded. In the 2nd Circle, 1,453 re-vaccinations were recorded
in the Almora, and 1,092 in the Lucknow district.
The supply of humanised lymph.
76. The lymph supply of the 1st Circle was almost invariably good ; and in the
2nd Circle the supply of lymph from Kumaun by which
the whole of the work in the circle was started, was
" uniformly pronounced by Civil Surgeons to be excellent." The supply from Garhwál
" proved excellent" and it was only in one or two districts that a second supply was
required, so that the vesicle was everywhere thoroughly established in the 3rd. Circle by
the 2nd and 3rd week of October.
