It will be seen that the death-rate from small-pox was highest in those circles in
which the degree of protection afforded to the population was least, viz., in the
Metropolitan, Behar, and Orissa Circles. In Behar, vaccination has only recently
been introduced, and two of the districts have not yet been taken up by the
Vaccination Department, but there is no such excuse for the Metropolitan and
Orissa Circles the administration of which is to blame. The small number of
vaccinations performed in these circles is again attributed to paucity of subjects
for operations, which is not a valid excuse, as will be seen from the following
statement which shows in order of sequence the degree of protection afforded
to infants available for vaccination in each district of the province during the
year under report :—

Table showing in order of sequence the degree of protection afforded to infants in each district of
