Average cost of each
successful case of vacci-
nation. (Statement II)
6. The average cost per successful operation was annas four and pies
ten during the year under report as compared with
annas five and pics two for the previous year and
annas three and pies four for 1920-21. The
average for the triennium under report was annas
four and pies five as compared with annas two and pies five for the preced-
ing triennium. The increase in cost has been accounted for above.
Besides this it is more apparent than real, as the cost has been calculated
on a comparatively smaller number of vaccinations performed during the
triennium under report.
In the table below, the cost per successful case of vaccination in these
provinces for the three years under review is compared with that of other
Indian provinces :—
