Triennial Report on Vaccination in the United
Provinces of Agra and Oudh for the years 1899-
1900, 1900-1901 and 1901-1902.

Period covered by the report.

1. This report deals with the triennial period 1899-1900 to 1901-
1902, but as reports have been submitted
for the two previous years, the present
report deals more especially with the work of the latter year.

Officers in charge of the De-
partment.

2. During the period under review the office of Sanitary Commis-
sioner and Superintendent-General of Vac-
cination was held by Lieutenant-Colonel
S. J. Thomson, C. I. E., I. M. S., up to
14th April 1899 ; by Major W. G. Thorold, I. M. S., from 15th April
1899 to 3rd April 1900 ; by Major G. M. J. Giles from 4th April 1900

C. I.E., I. M. S., from 19th September 1900 to 31st January 1902;
and by myself from 1st February 1902 to the end of the year 1901-
1902.

Expenditure on vaccination,
(Statement II.)

5. The total expenditure on vaccina-
tion during each of the three years covered
by the report was :—

There was an increase in expenditure under all heads in 1901-1902.
The increase under establishment appears to be chiefly due to the fact
that permanent vaccinators are now entertained in lieu of those formerly
temporarily engaged in some districts, for five months or so. The expen-
diture from Provincial funds was :—

The increase in 1901-1902 occurred chiefly under the heads "Travel-
ling Allowance " and " Contingencies " which is due to both the Deputy-
Sanitary Commissioners having been present in their respective circles
for a longer period compared with the year 1900-1901. The expenditure
under Local Funds, Municipalities and Native States requires no
comment.
