Appendix to Statement No. I.—
Vaccination in Political Agencies.

8. The total number of persons vaccinated in the Agencies and the
Sherani country was 12,807, an increase of 3,496.
Civil Surgeons in the various Agencies report that the
people have no prejudice against vaccination, but
cannot readily be made to understand the value of re-vaccination.

Appendix to Statement No. I.—
Vaccination in cantonments.

9. In the cantonments of Abbottabad, Mardan, Kohat, Bannu and
Dera Ismail Khan the district staff also carry out
vaccination work, and the figures are included in the
district returns (Statement No. I). The total number
of vaccinations performed was 2,792 against 854 in the preceding year In
the Cantonments of Peshawar and Nowshera, where vaccination work is done
under the control of the Cantonment authorities, 3,762 vaccinations were per-
formed as compared with 2,308 operations in the previous year, which repre-
sents an increase of 1,454.

Statement No. II.—Cost of the
Department.

10. The total expenditure was Rs. 16,041-0-7 made up of the following
items : — On account of lymph from the Punjab
Central Vaccine Institute = Rs. 2,191-10-0 and of
the Vaccination Staff and other contingencies Rs. 13,849-6-7 as compared with
Rs. 15,759-14-11. The expenditure is met as follows :—

Cost per successful cases.

11. The total number of successful operations was 111,691 out of
116,803 actually performed, and the cost per successful
case was Re. 0-2-4, an increase of 4 pies per case over
the preceding year. The cause of this increase is mostly due to a certain amount
of wastage of lymph which occurs owing to some tubes having to be thrown
away half used through lack of cases at the particular time they are opened.
If this could be avoided, the cost per successful case would be much less than
it has been in the past.

vaccination.

12. A very small amount of vaccination was
done at the Tochi Civil Dispensary.

Statement No. IV.—Work done
during the past 19 years.

for the decrease during the year under report.
