Summary of Cawnpore report.
57. In the Cawnpore municipality, a total of 5,329 persons were vaccinated as com-
pared with 4,487 in the preceding year, and there were
1,043 primary operations in cantonments against 1,072
in 1892-93. Register I was only completed at the close of the year, and Register II
was not kept up but during the recess it will be completed and maintained. With few
exceptions certificates were granted. About 600 notices were issued and 4 cases re-
ported to the Magistrate, but there was no need to prosecute the parents as they sub-
mitted their children to vaccination.
In the district 33,948 primary operations and 131 re-vaccinations were performed
against 30,916 and 249 respectively in 1892-93.
The supply of lymph was sufficient and generally of good quality. No special
assistance was given by district officials. The conduct of the Vaccination staff was
satisfactory.
Summary of Fatehpur report.
58. In the Fatehpur municipality, the total number of operations performed was
1,224, and there were besides 560 operations performed
by the Municipal vaccinator immediately outside muni-
cipal limits. Registers I and II were duly maintained and certificates issued. Seventy-
nine notices were issued, and 46 were complied with. Thirty-three children could not
be found after issue of the notices. Nine certificates of unfitness were granted. The
municipal vaccinator is commended for his zeal.
In the district, the number of operations rose from 17,104 to 23,526, and there has
been a progressive annual increase from 10,830 in 1888-89, and the percentage of success
was 91.97 compared with 92.78 in 1892-93. The Superintendent was 36 days on tour
and inspected 2,294 cases, and met with not the slightest opposition, having seen 297
Brahman children vaccinated in two days. The Assistant Superintendent is well spoken
of, and pushed on the operations and some of the vaccinators did excellent work. The
attitude of the people is one of passive indifference.
The District Magistrate and Civil staff afforded great assistance in extending
operations.
Summary of Bánda Report.
59. In the Bánda municipality, a total of 1,041 vaccinations was performed against
525 in 1892-93. Registers I and II were kept up, and cer-
tificates were granted in accordance with rules. Notices
were issued under the Act, but no penalty was inflicted. The first season's work under
the Act may be regarded as satisfactory, considering the amount of opposition met with
in Bánda among the upper and middle classes.
In the district 15,821 primary vaccinations were performed against 14,568 in the
previous year. The Superintendent was on tour for 45 days and inspected 1,323 cases.
The attitude of the people to the operation is decidedly hostile. The district staff
rendered assistance. The Superintendent advocates two insertions on each arm, but the
Deputy Sanitary Commissioner was satisfied with two well marked cicatrices, one on
each arm, as evidence of protection against small pox, particularly among a people hos-
tile to the operation, when a large number of insertions might engender further
hostility.
