General Progress.
10. It affords me much satisfaction to submit this annual report of vaccination. The
above summary of our labours indicates a satisfactory
progress ; there is a goodly increase in the number of opera-
tions, both primary and secondary, as well as a slight increase in the percentage of success.
The total increase amounts to 10,292.
Total of Work.
2. Taking the work of all the establishments together, the total number of operations
performed during the year is 94,238 ; of these 90,814 were
primary vaccinations and 3,424 were re-vaccinations. The
total number of successful operations is 84,837.

| Description | The Vaccination collection consists of 66 volumes dating from 1856 to 1933. Reports show how vaccination against smallpox was implemented in India. They reveal the shift from variolation, improved vaccination techniques, logistics of lymph supply, funding and staffing. They explore how the local population viewed and resisted western vaccination. |
