In my report for 1923, I dealt in considerable detail
with the subject of vaccination, particularly in regard
to the relationship existing between the number of
vaccinations performed and the prevalence of smallpox
in or around the district. In continuance of these
remarks, I would point out that it is interesting that the
number of successful vaccination certificates received
during 1925 is less by eight than in 1924 and that
the number for 1924 was 747 less than for 1923 in which
year two cases of smallpox were notified.
