Compared with the. previous year the total number of vaccinations during
1921-22 shows a decrease of 93,551. This is due partly to the cessation of
routine vaccination in all districts except the Nilgiris for periods varying from 2
to 4 months during 1921-22, but delay in filling up vacancies among vaccinators,
the decreased prevalence of small-pox during the year, the non-co-operation
movement and the disturbed condition of Malabar district were additional factors
which all assisted in bringing about the reduction. The figures for the three
ranges are given in the following statement:—

The districts which showed the largest decreases were Kistna (—19,921),
Malabar (—19,268), North Arcot (—14,891), Guntūr (—14,473) and South.
Arcot (—11,983). The question of compulsory re-vaccination is now under con-
sideration and it is hoped that the orders for the introduction of this important
measure, at least for certain sections of the community, will shortly materialize.

of successful cases, including re-vaccination, are shown in the subjoined state-
