The number of children under one year of age available for vaccination in
the municipalities of these Provinces and the number of successful operations per-
formed on them, are shown in Appendix B. It will be seen that in some muni-
cipalities the numbers of children successfully vaccinated during the year were in
excess of the numbers available. As explained in the previous report, this is due
to the fact that children born outside the municipal area were brought into it to be
vaccinated. It is also probably to some extent due to a faulty estimate of the
ages of the children by the vaccinators.

Diagram.

12. A diagram showing the relation between the death-rate from small-pox
and the proportion of population protected by vaccina-
tion in each district is attached.

Conduct of officials.

13. The conduct of the officials was on the whole satisfactory, but vaccinators
found falsifying their registers or slack in the per-
formance of their duties were suitably punished.
