Cost of vaccination.
30. The total expenditure on account of vaccination is shown in the
following table and also for the preceding five
years. The successful cases excluding Dispensaries
amounted to 587,572 and the average cost of each successsul case was annas 7
and pies 9 against annas 8 and pies 2 in the previous year and annas 8 and pies
9 in 1902-1903.
The average cost per each successful case was therefore, for the triennial
period, 8 annas 3 pies. Compared with last year the expenditure shows an
increase under all establishments :—
Provincial by Rs. 8,526-13-5, due to the increase in pay of the Deputy
Sanitary Commissioner and full time officers and increase of pay to office peons.
Local Fund by Rs. 6,359-2-1, due to additional vaccinators and peons
being employed.
Municipal and Cantonments by Rs. 55-0-7, to extra vaccinators on
account of small-pox epidemic and in the Native States by Rs. 1,409-4-4 to
contributions made towards the manufacture of preserved lymph and deputation
of certain vaccinators to Karachi for instructions in "Animal" Vaccination.
Compared with the previous triennial period the expenditure for the years
1902 to 1905 shows an increase in Provincial and a decrease under all other
establishments.
